Just a funny pic I had posted in C8 thought Z06 owners would get a kick out of it.. pretty much sums up my current feelings about switching right now...

Could not be happier with my Callaway Z06 so not going mid-engine any time soon.

I’d miss the 650hp, the M7, and that wonderful convertible top. None of which you will get with the initial C8 offering. Never thought it was that big a deal until I traded my Z51. Completely different cars. They just look similar. However, it’s your money!
