Z 51, yes or no
why or why not?

I am waitin on the Z car but I do want the CCB's...so whatever that option requires I will be getting them if I do buy a C8 Z car.

jackfrostpdx

Because it's the only way to get FE4, a vital selection.

I would skip this package if FE4 was a standalone option.

NO....I have no intensions of Tracking my C8 so I'm not spending another $5K just to say my C8 is a Z51. Plus, I prefer the looks without the spoiler. And lastly, I really want the All Season tires....so glad this is a factory install with the C8.
I'm hoping FE4 will be made available for the base car.

Must have for me. I love the handling characteristics and slightly bigger brakes. That 10th of a second to 60 is meaningless to me though

Zora_Vette

I do plan on tracking my C8 a few times a year, doing road trips and just driving it around a lot. So the bigger brakes and better cooling will be good for that. Not a fan of the Z51 spoiler but it's not terrible in contrasting black/carbon flash. I'm ordering the high wing. Also, you can't get MSRC without Z51, the shorter gearing will be nice for low speed acceleration. And several other reasons. Even if MSRC was available without needing Z51 I'd still probabaly go Z51.

The Z51+MSRC option makes no sense.
The engineers have made it clear that the C8 is a better daily driver WITHOUT the Z51 option.
If you want to track your C8, that $7k is better spent towards the C8 ZO6.

Same here.

It’s a must have for me. Lots of content for the price even though I will never track it. I also want the FE4 package so it’s a no brainer.

Maxie2U

I don’t plan to track mine so for me it would be a complete waste of money that I can use on other options.

Edwardz

I am not getting the Z51 because I think the regular suspension will be more compliant for a daily driver. My real “track car” will be a Z06 or Zora.

Doug C

My sentiments exactly, really dislike wings/spoilers. I believe performance exhaust is included in Z 51, real upcharge is closer to $ 4K as for me performance exhaust is a must have.

I’m wondering if no Z 51 would be a deal killer should I want to sell ?

Supersonic 427

I have no intentions of tracking the car and I am trying to keep the cost down, so I am going without the Z51 pkg. I did order the NPP exhaust though!

BIG Dave

I won’t be tracking the car so I’m definitely getting Z51.

2vette2

Couldn't have said it better.

Doug C

Trying to stay under $ 80K with convertible. IMO, convertible trumps Z for non-track use.

comments ?

No need for the Z51, not tracking it

jriley9922

Many people will not track the car and don't like the z51 spoiler... I am in that boat... so I passed on it.
I would have 100% done the mag ride if it was available as a stand-alone 2k option... that would be my only reason for considering the z51.

I think the NPP exhaust is a no brainer for 1k... so I would have essentially been spending 6k more for mag ride and then had to live with the wing or spend another 1500 for the high wing.

rcooper

Nope, and not an early adopter. So I will wait for the Mag Ride as a stand alone option.
I use the car as a daily driver and don't track it. The performance of the car for street driving is absurd, I don't need what the car has for the street.
No real reason to get the larger brakes, e-diff, closer gearing. Nice for the guys who track but sure is not worth the extra for use as a GT car.

The sweet spot, and fastest car, is going to be a z51 car with the spoiler deleted. It will beat the base car's 194 top speed, and will shave another tenth or two off the quarter.

I am leaning towards deleting my spoiler, so I went z51.
