Z06 guy sounds like a real dick head.
Sometimes, it all comes down to, "My PP is bigger than your PP". Too bad that there are people like that still around.

Seems they had a lot trouble with just carbon tops for the Z06. Not seeing them making 3000-4000 per year with all the exposed carbon. OR selling that many Unless the price is 99,000 and 119,000 loaded.
If it is that I will be having 3 cars1 But I think over 119,000
and much higher loaded these cars will not be cheap!
look at the 2017 ACR track beast how did it sell?
Over 1000 I doubt it! We will see soon! The price should come out if they take orders on November 20th

Im curios to see how it will compare to the Demon in the quarter mile however my interest is in road racing. Also how many wrap these beasts around a tree the first week they have it. Always happens.
I live in Spring too. So what dealer, how much deposit and is the deposit refundable? When I placed a deposit for my '14 C7, Lone Star asked for $5K and NON-REFUNDABLE. They really took a long time to get me a car, then it was another person's order. I don't want to go back to them.

Why it that Z06 owners are so insecure?

Hammers him about owning Vipers.
Hammers him for his overpriced GS.
Says he can’t afford a ZR1.

Z06 owners have tiny penises that match they’re tiny supercharger. All the C7s are great cars. Be happy for the guy. I know I am.

Yes it jokingly came from him and I tried to relay that statement on here but as usual it did not work. For 15 years i was involved in Vipers, and also on the Viper forums much more than here, and I never saw the friction or hatred between members nearly like on the Vette forums. I wonder why there is so much animosity with Corvette owners compared to other sports car owners.
that's because the buy in price for a corvette is 50kish and the viper is 80kish.

weeds out those who won' get jealous or feel inferior when better version of their car is released.

Default Info.

Well sometimes they do. I waited for 2015 for my Z51 for that very reason.

Blown differential, and various annoying issues, from intermittent seat switch failure, to intermittent air bag warning light, intermittent service rear axle warnings (before the diff failure and diff was serviced correctly) requiring several "reboots".

Trunk doesn't pop up high enough to get your fingers under it without difficulty, and now the cabin fan is intermittent, and of course it always works perfectly when I bring it in.

I track the car a lot and transmission fluid is blowing out of the vent, and brake fluid blows out of the top of the reservoir.

Paint is already bubbling on two of the wheels.

I was shredding the Pilot Powers after five-six track days, so upgraded to Toyo Proxes R888Rs and have had great luck with them regarding stick and tread life, but that required a second set of rims of course.

The navigation system is primitive, and the seat memory switches work intermittently at best. Despite that patronizing letter I got in the mail from GM insinuating that if owners just followed the manual correctly the problem would go away.

I love driving the car, and yes, it outperforms a 911S at about 1/2 the price, but you get what you pay for.

Doubt waiting a year or three after a new model comes out will make much difference. There's a reason why the recent Consumer Reports rated the Corvette at the bottom for reliability under the sports car category.

There's always problems with a new model and Chevy is not known for quality. That said, it's the new big dog so many will buy it.
I'm glad it looks like they fixed the cooling issues associated with supercharging but would still prefer naturally aspirated. At this horsepower level that's not gonna happen though.
