First off, THANK YOU to Jim for writing the evaluation and comparison! Makes me think keeping my C6 for the long haul that much easier. Would have to at least match HP on a C7, so that puts me into Z06 range, and I prefer NA engines so that eliminates that.
Mike, see link below................ did that trip on a couple of vehicle development Hot Trips in the past, took long route and spent days in Death Valley................ posted a link to an article which explains some highlights................ Hoxxy, see comments related above and link below............ you can use whichever route fits your schedule......................http://www.motorhomeroadtrip.com/uni...vegas-to-reno/

Thanks for the detailed review. Ive test driven the C7 twice. The Coupe when they came out and a vert in May this year. The wife insisted we stay with a C6 and she fell in love with the ZR1 at the Hot Springs Corvette show. I had to make her happy...bought our third C6 in May. Will probably keep it awhile.
