Seriously though, I really like the stingray Z06. Very sexy lines indeed.

Congratulations on your new car!

I've gone from a close Vette guy to a full blown fan with the C6 and now the 7 is growing on me. Got to see a white C7 Z06 at a recent local car meet and it's one of those that is much better in person. There's no denying the performance and value anymore, even flight you anti push rod elitists.

I hope you like to fishtale when you least expect it!
Learn to drive a RWD vehicle.

And to the OP, I think you bought the one vehicle that has more interior rattles than an EVO. Congrats. Hopefully the engine doesn't blow up and you don't get whooped by any Hellcats.

what a downgrade. Good luck driving that thing is rain,snow,dirt,mud etc. Terrible choice.



JK. Nice car, man. Do a lot of reading on those engines to prevent the failures that they have been having for whatever odd reason. Good luck with that thing. Don't sweat the hellcats, theyre heavy pigs lol.

The Z06 does 0-60 in 2.96, a stock hellcat will eek out 3.6
I'm not worried.

Post a video of YOU doing not to 60 in 2.96sec.

Seen lots of videos of Challenger Hellcats whooping on zo6's. Especially after the poor little z's get heat soaked.

Definitely didn't expect this when opening up this thread congrats on the purchase. Car is gorgeous, especially in white. Why no Z07 package?

OP - Is there a specific reason why you chose to go that route instead of getting a GTR? They are the same price, so I am interested in finding out why you went the RWD route instead of AWD.

The GTR is a good amount heavier. I would prob go with the Z also.
