Default Z06 or E-Ray

Anyone switching their order from a Z06 to an E-Ray after the video released today?

I guess there are people out there who given the choice, choose a Turbo S over a GT3.

When I rise to power, those people shall be neutered and/or spayed.

Same price, same delivery date I really think I'd go with the hybrid setup, but too many unknowns currently. Sticking with the Z06.for now

Unless you’re way down on the Z06 list, I don’t believe many people are going to jump ship to a hybrid powered LT2. The Z06 will be a much more special and charismatic car IMO.

You left out the third option. Those who are already going for the ERay instead of the Z06. The only question for me is it a PHEV?

Z06 but only because I’m getting an all electric Porsche with the QS Battery when it becomes available in about 3-5 years…

Z06 is the car I'd always wished they'd build i.e. a 'Porsche GT3' type car. I love the eRay and love seeing the product move forward.

Nope, it will be a very cool car I have no doubt, but lighter weight and a flat plane crank seals the deal for me. Still hoping for my Z06 this fall!!

It’s gonna take more than a hype video to change anyones determination to go with the Z. Maybe once some 0-60 numbers get published, or perhaps some pricing info that’ll happen though

My first electric car (whatever it is) will be a functional daily driver, not a sports/track car.

Looking to buy either if I can find one for sale, but I'm not going to go crazy over it. I would like to have a C8Z, but with the lack of availability, and the ERay on it's heels in production my guess is that I will end up with an ERay. But maybe I will get lucky again and a dealership will call me with allocation and sell it too me at MSRP like with my C8....but that isn't really realistic either.

You can choose the E-ray option, but I was just wondering if there were people who were changing their orders from Z06 to Hybrid. I think both will be popular and don’t understand how GM will fulfill orders, though thinking they were trying to get people to go ahead and choose the one they really wanted. Just glad we have a choice, for now atleast.
