My 2014 Stingray was a base model. No mag ride, no z-51 so not really a fair comparison. The Z06 is much faster, handles better and stops better.

I love all these convertibles. My C2 was a vert, but my C6 was a coupe. Couldn't wait to get back into a convertible! Now I have my '17 Sterling Blue Metallic GS. It is, by far, my favorite Vette.

These are beautiful cars!

My Z06/Z07 3LZ M7 Fully optioned vert’ that I LOVE!!! (A bit of a unicorn as well from what I gather from the corvette museum)
Nothing better than rowing gears in a Topless Vette Vert’!!! This Z06/Z07 is the best braking and handling vert’ of all time!

Beautiful vert’s everyone. Enjoy them in the best of health
