Daily driving my C7 Z06 w/Z07
I daily drove my C7 Z06 w/Z07 for 1 week and discovered that it actually isn't bad as a daily. It can be crazy when you want it and actually pretty tame when you don't (for the level of power and performance). Has anyone else had this revelation? I am pretty happy that I decided to experiment and drive it for an entire week.

Depends on roads for sure. I Drove mine the other nite on some typical roads and I would describe the drive as violent. Lol. Most of the time it's ok but that nite I was saying to myself I could never daily this thing.

It is an amazing piece of engineering that is a beauty when you want it to be and then a beast when you need it to be .

Z07 is the most versatile car I have ever owned! Now after 10k miles and a trip last summer we did 3k miles in 1 week! Just after a day at the track kicking ***! Doing it all over again this October. Show me another manufactures hot rod that you can say the same at under 100k.

One issue - the wheels, they're weak. I cracked my rear wheels (separate occasions). The dealer replaced under warranty.
Other than that, it's good.

I find every time I get behind the wheel I wish I could make mine a DD. Everything else I drive is so boring. I would love to take her to work but the chaos of the morning rush hour takes all the joy out of the driving experience. If I were retired and lived in Florida my ZO6 would be my DD.

I had a 15 Z06/Z07 M7. I didn't care for the really rough ride and a few other things, but it's just personal preference. I now have a 16 A8 non Z07 and absolutely love it.

Just tickling 15k miles for me. Daily driver all the way.
So far I've done Bowling Green -> Seattle and Seattle -> Monterey via coast return to Seattle.
It's my car, I use it for anything I need to drive for. I do ride with the wife if the whole family needs to come.
This car is such a better daily driver than my 2009 Z06. That car was flippin amazing, but it was a lot more work to drive. The interior is fantastic and the car is easier to park and scrapes less. Overall really great living with it every day.
The did screw up the cupholders. Looking for an insert to make them actually work.
