Daily
I have a two car garage with two four post lifts… if I have four classic Corvettes, this Z will live in the driveway and be driven every day, rain or shine. No reason to drive it in the snow, but it doesn’t snow up here that much. I don’t plan on really keeping more than four Corvettes in this house… So it shouldn’t have to live outside that long, but the way I see it it’s a brand new car and can live up to the elements much better than the classics that are nice warm and dry.
I can’t believe I’m calling C-4s classics… But hey I got a 1960 race car and a 1963 split window too!

Wow ... great question here !!
I have other vehicles to drive but for business I won’t drive my new C8Z as a daily. Haha I wish !!
it will be driven on weekends like my C7 Stingray that is Procharged, full bolt on’s and 4000 stall converter.

DD all the way. My first few vettes were garage queens. Put only about 3k miles a year on those. When I got my C7Z, I was like to hell with this. I知 gonna drive this and not care about the mileage. Best decision ever. Puts a smile on my face every day. Plan on the same thing when I hopefully get the C8Z, MY26. 😂

I put 12k per year on my C7Z and I don稚 regret a single mile. Will do the same for the C8Z. Weather is the only thing that keeps this car in the garage, and it has to be pretty ugly out.

Not daily but it's not going to be a cars and coffee car nor a car that is looking to roll race people.

Mine will get driven 1500 to 2000 miles a year, yes a garage queen. But thats what i enjoy and have did it on my last 10 Corvettes. Turn up the garage heat in the winter and a case of Bud Light I'm set all afternoon.

If I were still in SoCal it would be a daily. But now that I live back in Boston it痴 as weather allows. About 3k miles a year here between work and weather

Not daily due to several cars in the garage. However, this vehicle will be driven hard, often, and in the rain.

Dunno yet. I think that I might keep my c8 and my c8 z06 for a while, just to see which one I prefer to drive. The vette is my only "me" car. Meaning if it's only me going somewhere or one passenger it's the vette. So, the z06 will have to work as a daily or it's got to go.

Not sure, I will pick it up in 20 23 and drive it with the 20 day plates and see If I want to keep it and sell my C8, If I dont like it it will go on Ebay, I liked my C7 a lot better and liked my C5 Roadster which I still have a lot better than all of them !!

I'm keeping this one "forever" and I'd honestly like to put 200K miles on it. That said, wife and I work from home now and don't use cars that much. We have a new Mercedes GLE that is her car and the family hauler and the C8 (to be replaced by the Z06) is my car. Work from home has allowed us to get rid of my truck and consolidate to two nicer vehicles.

Daily driver. When the party's over and I'm taking my final dirt nap this car will be still be nice and shiney for it's new owner.
Tru state NY area. I've put on over a quarter of a.million miles on my daily driver vettes and when I go to sell each and every one of them buyers hand me the cash fast enough.
Why save it?
