Well...of course you're going to get a myriad of responses here. One being that VIR got a little faster with repaving, then the tire thing, blah blah blah. Point is though, yes, the C7GS is a better car out of the box, than the ZR1, shy of straightline performance. I believe the C7GS will be the most favorably reviewed C7 to date, combining the best of Z06 with the naturally aspirated and capable LT1. Not to mention, it will benefit from having more of the "bugs" worked out that have stumbled C7 here and there. It's going to be a hit.

In that article they stated Harland said: "the full slew of 2017 Corvette model year changes would be available on May13th"

So we should find out the all the updates for the 2017 Z06

In my view they should have had a increase in HP. Marginal as it might be 30 or 40 would help to make it more than a neutered Z06.
