Looking into a Corvette... manual of course.
Not sure I should look for used or not C7 Debating what to get: ZR1, not worth it. debating 1. Z06 base + Performance Data Recorder 2. GrandSport base + Performance Data Recorder debate1: There is an 18k$ difference between both and to my understanding, the only diff is the engine. Is it worth it, given that in both cases, I'll probably end up going for more power... the GS for sure, the Z06, just a matter of time. debate2: Also debating getting the z07 package (carbon brakes)... or just go after market high end steel brakes with better stopping power. Comes with the magnetic ride suspension... or should i just go w valved or adjustable Penske race coil-overs? Things for sure: Getting cage Getting real bucket seats Getting full aero package (LG seems to have a good one) upgrade transmission to PPG-t56-H or PPG-t56-sequential (thinking more sequential) What would you guys do ? Thanks, |

I'm along the lines of Mac, even thinking of dropping 50k on a base c7 seems crazy but I'm cheap. So it might as well be a new ZR1 which would be my dream car for it's outrageous performance and looks. My obtainable dream car would be a well prepared c5z, it's the lightest starting out and enough power, but again I'm cheap so I'll keep rocking the 4th gen.
