Good one.
I read all responses in threads & it was mentioned more than once this was a dick measuring thread, so I thought I'd chime in with my lowly 8".
I thought we all bought corvettes because we're small.
Yeah, but that's what makes them different... and the hood, tail lights, wheels, badging, etc.
You can say just about anything is "pretty much" the same. A Mustang GT is pretty much the same as a GT500... Cadillac ATS or CTS is pretty much the same as a ATS-V or CTS-V, etc.
Not bashing the Stingray or GS, both are great cars, but until they're generating OEM 650/650... w/the similar performance specs like 0-60, then they are not pretty much the same.
Same will apply to the ZR1... IMO of course
You're really missing the point. The G's, Figure "8", 60-0, etc., performance of a Z06/7 and a GS/Z07 are the same. Yes due to the SC the Z06/7 is quicker, hence my "pretty much" reply.
C'mon a Mustang GT is pretty much a GT500? Yeah it's a Mustang and it "pretty much" ends there...

I had a Mustang GT and a couple GT500s. They're not "pretty much" the same, which is why I used it as an example. You really have no point to miss. I guess we'll pretty much agree to disagree.
Gary financial hole is never a good thing but something tells me you aren't done dealing for a Z06 yet . Just don't do it unless you get your price or you will have a severe case of BUYERS REMORSE!!!!!
Dave ,Later this afternoon dealer came through with a deal that works for me on the '18 Z. Waiting on MSO before I pick up #37.

Thanks Dave! Being an '18 and a Z06 I am pretty much at the top of the ladder.....for now ...lol!
I kind of find it funny with all these manufacturers putting out cars like the Demon with that much power but they are all rear wheel drive and its almost impossible to put that much power to the ground properly without race slicks. Which is why cars with considerably lower hp but AWD get that edge and are faster off the line and handle better. AWD C8?
I have a base 1LT A8 magride conv, I originally was set to order a zo6. I like the lightness of the base car .Contemplated selling and buying a zo6, I also feel the need for 500-550 horsies but with the base cars weight. So I decided to keep it, put it on a diet, think I can shed about 100lbs from it. Do a cam swap, headers, v4 delete, and tune. Should make for an entertaining ride!

Congrats. Based on Onstar tracking I think my 18 Z was on the truck yours was on, but it continued east. If things go as planned I should be rolling it through your town in a couple weeks. Should I get my oil changed at Van Bortel?

Thanks! And Congrats to you too! Yes Van Bortels would be a great dealership to get your first oil change done. What VIN is your's? Mine is 100 here are a few pics of the new '18 shipment. Could one of them yours?

I started tracking mine on Tuesday and it was near Syracuse. So I'm thinking it is on that truck. Yeah you can't pass up that car with vin 100. Mine is 281.

By the VIN's they were built a day or two apart. VIN 100 was a definite added enticement.
