Vettes normally hold value pretty well ... Hopefully once it gets cold and sports cars aren't hot tickets... maybe you will find your ideal C6 Z06

I owned a C7 Z51 and have driven the C6 Z06 extensively. The Z06 is a faster car but not by much compared to a Z51. However, the C7, IMO, is a better overall car... liveability, interior quality, tech, etc.

The C7 GS will be that much better again. It will be faster than a C6 Z06 in all measures other than a drag strip IMO.

I'd keep my C6Z or buy a C6 ZR1 before I bought a stock C7 GS. Heavily modified C7 GS? I might make the swap. I'd sell my C6Z for a C7Z today, though.

Are you saying the new GT350 is faster than a C6Z in the 1/4?

C7 GS hands down. The C6 is so dated now.

GT350 is not, and its unlikely the GT350R is either.

I doubt the C7 Grand Sport will get into the 120-122 range of the C6Z, but who knows with the 8/10 speed automatics

Right, it's not. That's why I wanted to make sure that's not what you were saying.

Love the fact the mustang gt350 and the Corvette run the same 0 to 150 time. Corvettes just hook up better.

The C7 GS and GT350 are both on my short list for my next car. Leaning toward the GT350 due to lower price, more utility, concealed storage/trunk, and my preference for Ford's telematics over GMs. I did drive a Z51 C7 on track and it was pretty damn good though.

Thumbs up

This is one "Seriously Hott Vette!"





The C7 in general is far and above the C6 in every aspect.

The C7 beats the GT350 in about every way possible yet the GT350 won. Makes sense. You know, it beats it in every performance category, while getting better gas mileage and being quieter, being nicer with more features.

Magazine idiots.
