More comfortable that a C4? At 83, with severe arthritis in ankles, knees, hips, and spine, nothing is more comfortable than sitting my '92. Just major problems getting in and out.
What a beautiful vehicle.... Hoping PLRX finds the funds to purchase.

- I'm in my 30's, but agree & find my 96' more comfortable than the C7 I drove for a day.

Cannot think of one yr vette that doesnt look good in drm
Also loving that A8 and Im a die hard stick guy. Gearing on those is perfect. Maybe one day Ill retrofit one to my Camino if the T56 goes out again
Theres a thread in the C7Z06 sec where one of the tuners has a teeny cam, headers CAI and some boost (13 lbs max?) Runs 9s at close to 145
Your grandmother could drive it its so docile.
Now im depressed
Awesome machine but Id be afraid to own one out of warranty they do have their teething issues.
Gear spread is perfect cant imagine if it had a converter in it
this is a true driver take a peek. Think it has a 2.93 rear gear too?

They are indeed a lot more comfortable.

Owned an '02 vert, after reading how more user friendly they were getting in and out. Not so. Any vert (with top down) is easier 'in-out' than a coupe, but the '02 was not noticably easier 'in-out' than my '92-'93.

Thanks for sharing the experience with us Pete. I'd love to take one for a spin. Checked a white one w/red interior at my local dealership. The C7 Z06 is one impressive piece of machinery.

Burning Brakes
Car has outstanding seats. Great brakes. Sounds good with stock exhaust.
The blower is too small and needs more cooling mods if you race it though.
