The color choice (or lack there of) would kill it for me. Blue suede? Seriousley?

I guess I'm a glass half empty person! That is another way of looking at it. Maybe it'll spark some more interest in the 427 before it all goes away for good. In reality, its not a big deal and I won't lose any sleep over it, but if I could have it my way, the LS7 would stay in the Z or only 'track focused' cars.

The Z06 was the top of the line flagship for Corvette from 2001 C5Z up until the ZR1 came out in 2009. They are both iconic. The ZR1 currently carries the Torch as the leader thats all.

I do not think with the C7 though we will again see both the Z06 and ZR1 in the same Gen..it will be one or the other.

This is a very well written post. I think both will have a legacy of their own. Both carry a reputation and are known to be monsters on the track and road. Another example of this would be the 911 GT2 and GT3s. Sure the GT2 is faster, but the GT3 has just a strong and favorable reputation among the enthusiast community.
