What percent of the C7's do you think have the Z51 option.

Over the first two years it is exactly 54.5%. Don't know about 2016, but its probably similar.
Note: This percentage applies to Stingray models only, not Z06.

better question is what of the 50% of guys who get the Z51 option actually use it? I have met few stingrays guys who get anywhere near the potential of the car,,,,,, they spend more time shinning then spinning that's for sure.

Note: this is just an observation and by law I must state in no way am I condoning taking your car anywhere near the limits, but that said I know few will/do,lol. but if you would like to stop by,,,,,,,,,, I'll race ya

Funny how some people regret their buying decisions by disqualifying yours.

My biggest problem with the base car is the rims. the Z51 just looks better with the brakes, rims and spoiler.

probably will never need the dry sump or E diff. plus at the end of the day what is 5 grand extra ? i mean really any grown adult that makes decent money.
