I love the C6 Z06. I can't remember wanting a car SOOO bad when it first came out. I wanted to order a C7 Z06 but it was stretching my budget a little too much when I looked at it. I'm 33 and work full time, just started a side business, and had my first child (she's 4 months) I decided to order a shark gray Z51 A8 car 2lt with black rims and red interior. I hope I like it as much as I think I will.

The Stingray has more of a European design, where it's wideness isn't dictated by swollen wheel arches like on the zr1 or z06. Either way it's a wonderful design. The C7 Z06 I'm sure has loads of presence. It isn't obvious from pics but I think it will look very cohesive. I have not driven them both but I wouldn't be surprised in the real world if the C7 is faster. I certainly know I won't be messing with any when I get my c6 z06.
I love corvettes so the more I see the happier I am!

As far as the new a8 automatic, I think it might get a jump off the line from a dead stop on my C6Z, For that matter, I could probably get the jump on my C6Zo6 with the 1990 L98 automatic corvette I owned in the early 90's running from a dead stop in the real world on the street.

Just drove a new Stingray two days ago then went and purchased an `09 Z06 yesterday. The new Vette motor just does not pull on the top end like the LS-7. It does handle nice, definitely a more compliant ride...but it also feels cramped inside. I love the new purchase, had a `07 (pictured at left) couple of years ago.

There might not ever be any stock C7s in the 10.0s but I am expecting the CF fast lists will have more sub 11.5 C7s than C6 Zs by this time next year. The a/t takes much inconsistency out of the launch and shifting. You can't expect the results without the practice, especially in a high powered m/t car.

Street racing will be from a roll which will always go to the c6z06. Strip racing will be a drivers race in the 1/4 anything longer and the z06 wins again. Mod for mod it gets worse not better for the c7.

I have driven 2 c7 manuals. compared to my c6z these cars flat run out of wind. I am confident the c6 Z would outrun these cars on any venue.
