If that's an upper limit, then I'd rather not stretch myself to that extreme if it can be avoided. Fortunately, there is a way: C8 Stingray. Gets you most of the way there for a better value. I'd much rather invest the difference especially now that the Fed has paused rate hikes and announced rate cuts. Markets flipped to risk on, no more fighting the Fed. The multiples I can earn in those investments could net me a couple ZR1s or even Zoras in a few years.

But if that's a comfortable limit, then weighing opportunity costs becomes less of a matter (though still always present). Everybody's financial situation is different.

Got the call last January. I had been on the dealer's list for 3 years. He told me there would be a $50k ADM on the car, I had to pass! If I could have purchased it for MSRP, I expect I would have went for it and replaced my 2016Z I decided later to go with the C8 HTC and have been very pleased. From a logic standpoint (which doesn't come into play with most of us), if you don't plan to track the car, the C8 stingray is probably a better choice. It is very quick, smooth and quiet. A great performance cruiser. The $3000 gas guzzler tax on the Z06 was also a shock. Do what makes sense to you. You are the one that has to be satisfied at the end of the day!

BTW, have you seen the Accelerate Yellow in person? I recently saw a C8 from a distance with the color and it looked greenish to me, kind of like a light lime. Don't know if the angle of lighting was a factor.

Yes definitely has a greenish hue to it. My feeling is a Z06 deserves an outlandish color but even that is subject to change.

You’re not going to get it, just get them to give me the allocation … :P

from another thread..... sounds like he's going through with it.



Rapid, what's the longest you kept one of the C8s? In time and mileage?

Wow, that would be a very hard decision for me…. I did a little homework and with a so many SR’s sitting on lots selling at msrp it looks like I would take about a $10k hit on my 23 and then pay about $40k for a equivalent Z. I definitely would love to have a Z but I just don’t think I would love it $50k more than what I have.

If you get it, it will definitely be cool. If you don’t I think your new black beauty looks amazing too… :thumbs:

If it’s affordable per your budget, do it. The Z06 is one special car….motor. Last of the greats and bound to be a car that’s talked about for years to come.

From my Dealer. Want a Z06 at MSRP? I have an allocation January 25th.

Yes im thinking about it.
