Your car, your money, but I would rather have the C7Z myself.

Let’s see -

the interior is is hands down way nicer

the V-10 plus sounds like the Sunday morning cubic displacement choir singing to the heavens

the dual clutch is sweet

Tony Stark has several

it depreciates slower

fewer made / sold / on the road

yeah, I’d do it.

Agree with the 911 comments previously as well.

If it makes you happy, then YES.

Very nice car. I would choose a 2019 ZR1 instead, but everyone has there on desires.

If you do and keep it beyond 4 years, buy an extended warranty.

Not a bad sportscar, but at the price of (3) Grand Sports.
Not for me at the near $200,000 price tag a buddy of mine just paid. Each his/her own.

I don't know your personal preferences, finances, etc to answer that question.

But based on the Z in the background and the Audi in the foreground, I would keep your Z. It is a very easy decision for me.

But do what you like.

Personally the R8 looks never did much for me and if it’s smaller inside than a C7, forgeddiboutit for a daily driver IMHO. That’s just me though and if it rings your bell, that’s all that counts. If it were me and I was spending that kind of new ZR1 money, I’d be trading that Z06 in on a new ZR1.

only you can answer that. here is Car and drivers take on it

https://www.caranddriver.com/audi/r8which model? it comes from 560 and up to 610 the 0-6 is similar to the Z 06. But there is more then 0-60 for a car. Audi interior just ooze quality and you certainly do not see many of these cars around at all. i recently turned my S4 and although not a replacement for my stingray I do miss it.
