Very nice! That will certainly ease the withdrawal pains caused by the absence of a ZR1 in the garage. Congrats.

Hey guys,

Thanks so much!

I'll give a couple of comparable areas and my impressions.
Note: I put around 67k miles on the ZR and have just around 1200 miles on the Z06.

performance (acceleration):
The ZR1 is faster

creature comforts & tech:
Hands down goes to the Z06., I really like the added connectivity of the SD cards and multiple USB slots. The color HUD, backup camera, nav traffic, weather and PDR is cool.
The downside on the PDR is - you need to turn it on each time you start the car. that's a bit of a bummer. i used to run a aftermarket dash cam on the ZR and i don't think i'll be installing it on the Z06. I also like that i'm able to run a 256g SD card on the PDR giving me over 100 hours of recording. Lastly, i'm liking the removable roof!

fit finish:
Z06 enough said....
I have the 3LZ leather & sueded microfiber inserts - it's just better

styling (subjective):
Z06, i like the refreshed styling. .

fuel economy:
it's pretty much the same between the two

ride and driver feel:
Z06, the steering is buttery smooth and the ride feels more ridgid / together.
