So the C8 Stingray is an absolute stunner with the performance to match. With that said, I can't help but think how much greater potential the Z06 has.

If GM got the Stingray to go below 3 secs, faster than the C7 Z06 as Tadge said .. I can't imagine what how fast the Z06 will be going straight and on the track.

I'm tempted to pull the trigger on getting in line for a Stingray but will try very hard to resist the temptation and wait to at least see the release of the Z06 with solid numbers to decide.

What's your take?



Just playing around with the visualizer.

I do not anticipate waiting for what else might be coming down the road, in the future. I see a 2020 Stingray in our future.

Tally Ho

I'm waiting. Gives me a few more years with my C7 Z06.

HOWSER

Same here. Hopefully it’ll be sooner than a few years

I see no point in downgrading just because it’s newer. I’ll hold out and see what the Z version is like.

Waiting on the ZR1 or whatever they are going to call it.

I'm tempted to wait for the Z06 as well but that's another year and a half of waiting. Is that worth it? A large part of me says no because for one, I have a need for speed. Two, I think the Z51 is plenty fast out of the box. Three, I can always trade my Z51 in and upgrade to the Z06.

I'm at least waiting to see the Z cars to make a decision. Will the Z06 have "got to have" options/features that warrant the larger price tag? In the past I've found the Z cars superior visually - will I again? Will there be convertible models in the Z trim? Will I be able to spring all the way to a ZR1 or will the Z06 price point already be hard to stomach?

I'll wait and see - if I end up getting the Stingray, at least by then the Z car introductions may put some gently used ones on the market for me.

I understand the temptation. There's an old saying "haste makes waste". Another is "good things come to those who wait". If you really want a Z06 C8, then wait for it

Mr Triple Black

I’m trying to wait for the Z06 but man the spec I made just looks so good to me lol.

I took delivery of a 2014 in October of 2013 only to see the Z06 come out in 2015. I ended up buying a 2017 Z06. This time I wait for the C8 Z06.

GOC

Yup, that would be that thing to do if you don't mind the depreciation.

TurboJunky

A cam, heads, headers, and tune in a C7 LT1 makes anywhere from 530-580whp. Probably the same with the LT2 but now with DCT and mid engine layout.

A car like that should easily be in the 10s.

The Z06 would have to have more than 755hp for me to be interested in spending that much more money on one.

MrSchn3ll

I'd like to wait, but I am not too sold on the turbo engine proposed in the Z. Can we have an option for GrandSport?

MTPZ06

Really liking the car so far, but 495 hp doesn't excite me when my 2009 C6Z has 505.

rsvette12

I would wait for a Z06 version not interested in base version

Even though I walked into my garage this morning looking at my C7 Stingray like "why did you age so much overnight?", I still enjoy the car very much. So I'll keep driving that for a few more years.

zhopper05

I am keeping my C7 Z06. I will be buying the Stingray then trade it in or sell it when the next Hi-Powered version comes out.

SivaSuryaKshatriya

I wonder if the Z06 will be widebody as they traditionally have

capevettes

I only have 14,000 miles on my C7 Z06 and love the car. I am waiting for the C8 Z06 and will buy it as soon as it comes out. It's going to be a heck of a car.
