Anyone here make the switch from C6Z or C6 ZR1?
Damn, I put "or" instead of "to" in the subject line
I have often thought about the idea of making the switch. I have considered a new C7, but I am just not sold on that body yet. I don't want to modify my '09 Z. I am considering making a switch to a "used" C6 ZR1 if I can find a nice one locally here in Arizona.

I would if I could afford it. Just to expensive for me. A good friend of mine did, went form a 2009 Z06 to a 2010 ZR1, he love it.

ZR1 is the top dog..it would be a no brainer..The "7" version is sure to be a Beast also..

There's plenty of guys on here who have...you may want to post your question in the C6ZR1 forum for feedback from those who have "traded up". For me, I wanted a piece of Corvette history that we may or may not see again...a naturally aspirated 427.

Those times are very misleading though. Take a look at the trap speed difference between a C6 Z and ZR1. Huge IMO. Of course the price difference is a major factor but still a big difference none the less. I think GM claims 1/4 trap speeds of 124 mph for Z06 vs 131 mph for the ZR1. Pretty big difference. Is that worth the extra $$$, some say yes, some say no. I'd love a ZR1 but for twice the cost of my 08Z, not worth it in the end. That being said, I'd love to have one lol.

This is a very debatable topic, I personally so no because I don't feel I would be able to tell that much difference between my Z and a ZR, but then again I have never driven a ZR because I can't warrant the extra $$$ it would take to get in a ZR. With that being said I have mods that I am planning on doing that will make it faster than a ZR in stock form. At the end of the day it's all about what you want out of the car.
