2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - Bang for buck... redefined

Remember when the rest of the world used to make fun of the Corvette? It wasn't completely warranted, yet there were some criticisms that both stuck and stung. Those days were officially pushed into the past when the new C7 Corvette arrived.
The 2015 Corvette Z06, however, takes those old notions, douses them in high-octane fuel, and sets them ablaze. That's because it just might be the best bang for the buck performance machine on the planet.
Hell it might be one of the best performance machines on the planet period

Some say it’s not a super car but I disagree. My C7 Z06 manual is so bad ass it scares the shit out of me. My theory is if its beating super cars than it’s is a super car.

Please.....on a track course maybe, but flat out drag racing there are plenty of cars out there with far less money in them that will show this thing their tailights....I've got an 03 cobra that I paid 28 grand for with only 5600 miles on it when I bought it.....has a Whipple supercharger swap from the original eaton, with the basic intake and exhaust mods to go along with it, and my car would beat this thing in a drag any day of the week and twice on sundays....lol. so for 28 grand and another 8 or so for my mods, I've got a car that will beat this 100 grand fiberglass midlife crisis car. You don't have to be rich to build a fast street car.

@coureurdebois 9 жыл бұрын

Shahul Usman its not that the Z06 is losing power because its actually overheating, GM set up the ENGINE AND SC to pull power at semi high heat levels the SC and engine can actually handle very very extreme temps but to maintain warranty / longevity they have a very aggressive ECU tune.

Yea I've been reading on the corvette forums.. Many of there aren't happy about it. In the 80-100k range you have the z51,z06,mustang gt350r, m3/4, new c63 amg-s, cayman gt4/boxster spyder, and even the current z/28 camaro, viper . The z06 is the fastest obviously, but for the track junkie? Maybe the gt4 or z/28 or gt340r would be better.. No cooling issues.. Na engine

I have owned Porsche 911s for many years. My last two cars were M3. I am in the market for a new car and I was leaning toward a 2016 Porsche 911gt3. But the gt3 does not have a manual option. Then I test drove the new ZO6 with a stick. Torque and acceleration are unbelievable, same as the 911 Turbo S. But the Turbo does not come with a stick anymore either. May have to march my ass up to Irvine and find out the delivery time from the factory for a 2016 ZO6. I wonder if there is a waiting list. A friend of mine ordered a ZO6 from a dealer back east and claimed he saved $10,000.

@hyperlogos 9 жыл бұрын

No, the C6 was the watershed moment, not the C7. That's the first Corvette worth buying since the first-gen. And none of the prior vehicles were good value for money, either, especially since the advent of the 240Z, _which spanked it_, just as did the 300ZX turbo, and the 300ZX TT - which is what these cars were built to do

my 2 cents Z06 great choice for big horsepower, fairly good looks, decent modern tech, def gorgeous sound, it is def one of the best if not the best Corvette ever made, fantastic car AS LONGS the buyer keeps the specs cheap as meant to be, as soon the price reaches 100k plus i think its an absolutely idiocy to pay that much for a Corvette, fully spec'ed out at $120k + is plain madness for a Corvette regardless how fast and nice it is, doesn't hold its value against the "equivalent" competition from europe, depreciation will be out of this world.

@marshallrhayes 7 жыл бұрын

While i agree that a corvette will depreciate more in terms of overall percentage than say some other exotics, the amount of money lost would actually be less with a Vette. Yea a 100k dollar corvette may only be worth 50K in a few years, but what do you think happens if you buy a 200k dollar porsche gt3?? That car probably looses 30K in value as soon as you drive it off the lot lol!

Elbowz The example you cited is from a rare car and situation. I have heard of Porsche models selling for way over MSRP due to the rarity or even being worth more then they paid. However, you cited one exception in about 100 cases. You almost never make money off cars and you usually loose tons of money. If it was a sure thing to buy a $130,000 porsche and only loose 400 dollars everytime, trust me i would have already bought one.
