You need to turn off the date on your Camera, it makes good photos average at best.

Take your camera off auto mode and stop it down 2 stops.

Your car is popping pink in the pics.

Have you driven a base C6 ( 430 / 436 hp ) AND a C6 Z06? If you have driven both, as a ZR1 owner, you could answer a question.

It's clear that the C6 Z06 "feels" considerably more powerful than the base C6.

It's clear that the ZR1 "feels" considerably more powerful than the C6 Z06.

Here's the question: How would you describe the "step" between models? That is, is the jump from base to Z06 less than, equal to , or greater than the jump from Z06 to ZR1?

I'm betting that the ZR1 feels a lot more powerful over the Z06 than the Z06 feels over base ( or GS ).

Have fun with your new car. This is perhaps the pinnacle of Corvettes for all time.

Thanks, the ZR1 is going to be a LOT of fun

Good questions! I drove a base C6 years ago and no driving a Z06 so I can't provide any opinions on the differences. I can only say obviously the ZR1 is WAY faster than my Grand Sport
