no, and I wouldn't trade a Z06 or a 427 'vert for a C7 either (and I like the C7 so far).

Yes. There isn't much of a noticeable difference in your butt between 0-60 in 3.9 or 3.6.

Actually IMO a half second is quite noticeable, so I bet .3 is as well.

I wasn't planning on getting a Corvette, but wow, C7 looks amazing. I want one more than C5Z now. The old ride will be retired to track duty only.

Me and my father are going in together on a C7. he is 65 and a life long vette fan/owner and just sold our 2005 C6 about year ago in preparation for the C7. Right now he shares my brothers 2013 mustang GT which is an ok car but he is anxious to get back into a vette. I currently have a 2012 GT-R Black Edition(its the 1st production Black Edition ever built for the US market) so I obviously wont be getting rid of and downgrading from that as the GTR is also what I do for a living. I will just drive the C7 in addition to it.

If it happens, when it happens, it will be a C6 to a C7 ...

hmmmm.....So if I go from left to right and assume left is where you started it appears you are heavily downgrading by the time we get to stroller...
