****.....you may be the brother that I never had,,,I have a 2011 C6 Z06, have had 4 Bernese Mountain dogs and I am started to consider getting the C7 Z06 now that the bugs are worked out and there are discounts available......reading your thread is slowly pushing me forward.
A question and comment.
How did you decide buying a GS over the Z06. Was it impulsive or?
Honestly, it was decisive the moment I stomped my foot to the floor on the Grand Sport. I've always built things my whole life, usually Harley's and Chevy trucks. And I've always wanted as much usable/reliable power as I could get. The thought of something straight from the factory that I don't have to rip apart and make better sure excites me. As awesome as this Grand Sport is, I wouldn't be happy without the added power of the Z06...

Absolutely beautiful. I am leaning toward that color, but on the GS. I will always respect the Z06 guys, but that much power would be a waste of money for me -- at this stage of my life.
Good luck and enjoy.

Have you actually driven a Z06 yet?
It might be something to do before dumping the GS.
Although I haven't driven the GS, my guess is with its Z06 chassis it drives similarly.
HOWEVER, the Z can't really utilize all of the power of the LT4 in a street situation.
It's too easy to see much of it end up as tire smoke.
Of course, YMMV...but you really should drive one first.
BTW, that's a beautiful pic of your GS.

We do however have one very important sound he doesn't. That intoxicating, melodious sound of the supercharger playing it's siren sound as one uncorks all that power on a deserted highway. And where you are and he is, there are so many to explore. Happy Holidays and may you be blessed with many successful days of fly fishing in the coming year.

Thanks everybody..
As great of a car as the Grand Sport is, the Z06 just takes it to another level. the power is exhilarating, but very manageable if driven responsibly. I ride a hot rod Harley too and with either vehicle, if I drove like an idiot, well, I'm going to pay the consequences, no thank you..
I love this car, I started with a '16 Z51, then my '17 Grand Sport and now the car I wanted from the beginning. Oh well, the road was nice...
Merry Christmas everybody..
