Ok, so you are going to buy the latest and greatest ZO6.
Now....how will you "build" your baby so it doesn't look the same as the guy next door with the `14 - `15 stingray?

Perhaps the exterior color TSG (Tiger Shark Gray)? Aero package?
ZO7 option?

Appears that many features are the same, even most colors.
It is of course very early in the game, but........

Q. Just curious as to what will make yours unique?

 

It will be mine.

 

wheels, fenders f&r, rockers, butt, hood, side skirts and splitter (aero level 2). just to name a few distinct differences that are easily picked up on by the casual observer.

 

How about the rear brake air inlets?
The ray doesn't have those!

 

Just a Stock Z06 will look way different than the base Vette. A lot more so than say a Porsche Turbo compared to a base 911.

Here the order that I will place once I get the allocation.

2015 Z06
Z07 Package
2LZ
8 Speed Auto
Red or Gray
Black Wheels
Grey Calipers with a Red car
Red Calipers with a Gray car.

Cant wait

 

Mine would be similar not sure about spending for a package that included the Brembo brakes but they do look awesome.

 

Wide body.

I'm pretty sure the TS Grey is a new color for all Corvettes in 2015.

 

When GM comes out with the C7GS all the Z's will cease to be unique.

 

That's correct too bad Cyber Gray is going away

 

And they will too. I know the faithful will jump on me for this: I do not think the z looks much wider than the z51. Put the tires and aero bits on the z51 and most will not see the difference. Unless the engine and auto are incredible I may just put a supercharger on mine and call it good...I would rather have the centrifugal anyway. We already have dry sump, aluminum frame, and e diff. It won't be a z06 but might easily be faster.

 

If the guy next door buys a car just like mine, I'll know he has good taste or copied me.

Current thoughts:
Tiger Shark Grey
level 2 Aero package
2LT interior, assuming it's the full leather wrap at this model level.
silver painted rims
visible carbon fiber roof
carbon fiber dash

The car color may change, but I really like the show car videos I've seen so far.

 

There is a night and day difference between the two. The *** end is three and a half inches wider and the front is two. Completely different look according to people that have seen it in person

 

A&A is getting my kit ready! 600 rwhp in the Stingray that
is 200-300 lighter will walk away from the new ZO6!
At that point the Z has little to offer over the Stingray! Since mine will never see a track beside's a drag
strip possibly!

 

I hope you are right. I have been set on getting oneIt seems that the extra width in back is the bulged out wheel wells to cover the wider wheels and that the rest of the fender tapers into the same rear fascia as the base car has. The front fenders may be a bit wider without the extensions but it is not much( half inch) and it looks like the fenders taper into the same front end as base car.
I am not being critical just commenting on what it looks like to me. The sameness should help keep the price down.

I understand your excitement, and no doubt you will have one fantastic car. Yet the new Z06/7 will be a whole 'nuther beast...factory stock and fully warrantied.

 

The additional rubber on the C7 Z06 alone will annihilate the C7 base on a circuit. We are talking about additional speed in every turn and shorter breaking distances. It's not just more rubber, it is sitting farther out at every corner.

Then there is the bit about extra cooling, cooler brakes (13.6 rotors vs. 14.4), cooler transmission, cooler diff. All of that translates into better performance and more reliability.

There is the option for additional aero.

Lastly you can't compare the LT1 block with the LT4. Those forged parts go a long way to keep the car in one piece.

 

The 600 rwhp will drive away from the (520 rwhp maybe ) Z06 on the highways. I don't waste any time driving or money doing a boy racer stupid circuit! I just wait for the ones paying the huge tag and there will be. You know MSRP plus 10k!

In the proud machine they bought gets toasted by the sleeper.
C7Z51! That was 40 to 50k less!

I know all about the huff and puff and huge money wasted.
on the new iron or should I say plastic from GM.
The guy before me lost 50-60k on his ZR1. 3 years later I get it at 45-50 percent off. Hardly even driven with 2200 miles!

 

After 2 self installed Blower kits ! There is total bunch off of WASTED worry over even the ls-7. Which guys in the know Supercharge those with no issues. 100's of them around! Lt1 will be fine.

 

I can't understand the whole nuther beast! With 600 rwhp
from a Centri the Z51 will totally surprise the "whole nuther beast" by driving away from the full throttle C7Z! Which is WAY more fun than me buying a new Z06 which anyone with the money COULD do.
But if you have any money you are tight in some way or another. I enjoy faster cars at a price minimum.



The roots blowers get blown away by the Cenrti blower's to BEGIN
with!
Owned several of both!
Even an old C6 Z06 with a blower kit will lay waste to the new Z by WIDE MARGIN. Again I careless about any track!
I have 3 Corvette's and at 1 point in time or another were/will be 600 or over rwhp

 

I know what you mean, those boy racers that are so successful at making money find it cheaper to buy the C7 Z06 new and fully loaded from the closest dealer than losing a second of their precious time in the used socks market. And to think that some of these money wasters don't agree to race oh the highway on the way to work... what jerks. Just because they work. I mean, what do they have to lose? Integrity? Their driver's license? They should race along soccer mom minivans just like the rest, it's not one's fault they can't afford to let a car lose on the circuit. It costs money to buy the latest aftermarket parts.

You know who can stick it to these guys the best? It's that teenage boy who inherits that 1st generation Toyota Camry from their mom. Armed with only a screw driver and a rubber hammer they will transform a 6 generation old front wheel drive car that they received as a dead beat into a true stallion. All they have to do is figure out how to take a car designed to run for 100,000 miles but ran 200,000 miles, into a drag racer that pukes pistons after one race. But boy o boy that race will be the ticket, the speeding ticket that is.

So that brings us back to you. Where do you stack up between the teenage Camry boy and the boy racer who buys a C7 Z06 without haggling for the lowest price? You can't have the glory of the Camry racer because you don't know how to build a fast car from the ground up. I mean, you buy the latest generation Corvette and install a bolt on kit that comes with instructions. Neither is it cheap. The Camry boy inherited its car while you are spending $50k on a barely used car designed from the ground up to be fast.
