I would love to see something similar regarding a z06.

But, that's just me.

Over $93K for a Grand Sport coupe? Yikes.

There's probably something out there on the web. There's been many magazine test drives of the Z06 in the past.

Default i

just saw a GS on a dealers lot tonight. It was priced at $78,800 and change. As a 2016Z owner I think anyone who buys a GS at those prices better get a ride in a ZO6 first. that is completely silly.
I went from a C6 z to later a c6 GS and I was really sorry. Bad move. If you fall for A GS at over ZO6 prices you will be sorry later trust me. you are falling for the early hype. Get the Z folks> Good Luck

^Thats your opinion. I personally don't want a FI sports car. Simply the Z06 optioned the same as a Grand Sport is $14K more.

For some the only metric that counts is HP.

About 2 years ago, before I decided on getting my GS, I had the opportunity to drive a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 at the Exotic Driving Experience in Orlando, FL. What struck me most was the grip; the feel of lateral g's was unreal. The acceleration, while impressive, was not nearly as eye-opening.

FYI, The Grand Sport-Z07 provides higher grip capabilities than the Gallardo, even higher than the new Huracan. I personally find braking and handling are far more important than over the top power. Adding power is not nearly as difficult as balancing higher braking and handling capabilities.
