on the Z51 bubble
 

Someone sell me Z51 at $2800.

At $2800 it sells itself.

If you're going to track the car, then it's a no brainer.

Well, I presume you already know what you get with it, right - i.e. nicer wheels, heat exchangers, dry sump, mag ride/PTM, e-diff, brakes, tires, etc.

So, are those items important to you enough for 2.8 k or not? If so, get them; if not, don't.

At $2800 it is the bargain of the year !!:thumbs::thumbs:

I think the Mag Ride is not included w Z51. If it was that would literally be the deal of the century. :yesnod:

Z51 includes:

Larger brake rotors
Dry sump oiling
Limited slip differential
Larger wheels
More aggressive gearing
Larger spoiler
Split spoke wheels

Am I missing something?

Do you have a coupon ? :eek:

Z51 Performance Package, includes (J55) performance brakes, (J6A) Black-painted calipers, slotted brake rotors, (Z52) dry sump oil system, (FE3) Z51 performance suspension, specific shocks, springs and stabilizer bars, (XFJ) P245/35ZR19 front and P285/30ZR20 rear tires, (Q7S) Silver-painted aluminum, 19" front and 20" rear wheels, performance gear ratios, (G96) Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD), (KNR) rear differential cooler, transmission cooling and an Aero Package.

Yup - I think you're right.

Even without that, IMO the package is worth it. I can see, tho, where others might not want it/need it.

All the nice stats introduced this past week from Virginia Speedway were truly impressive. They were achieved with a Z51 equiped car. If performance is important, I would not hedge a bet against it. Go for it!!! Plus the physical attributes of the car look better IMHO. If you dont do it...the odds are you will regret it. Good luck :cheers:

In other words, ALL vents are functional. That is worth a lot right there :yesnod:

You are KIDDING right???
 

Based on the equipment, many on this board were guessing between 5 and 8k for this option, and it's 2800 and you need to be sold on it???? Forget tracking the car as the reason, although thats a good one, looks, rims, resale, eLSD, coolers, IT"S AN EASY choice...

I thought there was no difference between the size of the brakes, only size of rotors???

:iagree: :cheers:

When I sold my C6 Z51, the Z51 option added ZERO value to my car.

That option and all others will be 100% depreciated when you drive it off the lot.

Sorry to break it to you guys. :ack:

Use and enjoyment of the car is important to some.

Z51 is a gateway option. Well worth it for what it is, but it's what it lets you get that is important. Spoiler, wheels, MSRC...

Looks are a good reason if not tracking?

So its worth $2,800 just to say I have a Z51 equipped C7?

Aftermarket wheels and spoiler will be much cheaper than $2,800.

If that thought process matters to you (the future value vs. the current benefit/enjoyment) then why buy a Corvette at all? Simple buy a Honda Accord that costs way less and holds its value relatively well.
