Any South Jersey Z06/Z07 owners?
If so, would you be willing to take me for a ride? 
I found a leftover 2016 Z06/Z07 with a price that would be difficult to let slip away. However, the Z07 option increases the stiffness of the suspension and according to some accounts, takes it way over the top for a DD; which will be my primary usage.
I've read all the threads on this combination and the consensus is, well..., all over the place. So, I thought I would reach out to the forum community to see if someone in my area has that combination and would be willing to take me out so I could judge for myself.
I know, a strange request, but...
Thanks for listening.

Excellent question, the answer to which I do not know. It's been called South Jersey for as long as I can remember.
Memory no longer being what it once was, but I think I recall a ballot initiative, or proposed initiative, about splitting the state into North Jersey, with all the heavy industry, oil refineries, etc..., and South Jersey, with all the farmland, trees and bubbas.
Still waiting to see if anyone in my area has a Z06 with Z07...

Sorry for hijacking the thread a little. I hope somebody answers your question. I don't have a Z06, I have a Z51. However, mine's a DD. As for stiffness, it's controllable via the mode selector. I often have it in Tour mode but when I miss the stiffness I dial in Sport or Track mode. Track mode on windy mountain roads is wonderful. That's said, having been born in NJ (don't hold it against me) I feel for your pothole ridden roads. Nice roads out here in San Diego, SoCal area.
Having lived in California since around '88 I often asked people why they call it Southern California instead of South California (hey they put "the" in front of every numbers interstate and highway - "take *the* 5 to *the* 405 to *the* 10 - still bothers me - you don't say "and then take a left on *the* oak street do you?). Note that there have been several initiatives to split California. When asked some Californian's will attempt to justify it saying "Well that's because it's not a state. You got yer South & North Carolina's and your South and North Dakota's". That's when I hit them up with "Well they always called it South Jersey".

Regarding the terms south or southern...It's South Jersey or Southern New Jersey.

I had thought about talking to Dave about taking a Kerbeck car out for a drive. However, since the reason for the post and asking a forum member to take me out was because the car I am looking at is a leftover 2016 at another dealer. Asking Dave would make me uncomfortable.

Your interested in buying the car and the dealer won't let you drive it? I'd quit wasting your time on them.
Contact Kerbeck...odds are they may be able to match the deal and they will let you drive it before forking over $.

Someone posted a reply last evening around 22:00, but I cannot locate that post. However, I will reply as if I did...
I should have been a bit more explicit. The dealer that has to Z06/Z07 is about 1000 miles away, hence my looking for someone local to give me ride...
However, if the dealer was local, then I would agree with your sentiment, walk away and go elsewhere.

Z07 takes it way over the top for a DD ??? I dont think so.... I keep mine in touring with the steering and exhaust locked in sport . I love how you can dial this car in just about any way you want.... I dont think a test drive or ride will help much.... on the other hand the power and response will blow your mind.... i went from a 14 Z51 to my 16 Z06 If you want to come over the bridge to Bucks County for a ride we can do it
buy that car!!!! you wont be sorry
