Thank you! I now know a little more than I did before. Are there any engine upgrades as well? I was browsing new Corvette's on a dealer's site and they had trims like base and zr1 etc. Are the engines same in all of them and just different body parts, tuning etc?

Wikipedia is a great source of information on the internet. You should check it out.

There are different engines and other tweaks between all the Corvettes. ZR1 was the king of the hill last gen, not sure if there will be a ZR1 this time around.

Its like this for the C7:

This *IS* weird BTW.. Because I was in NY state for 8 days (NYC for 4 of those) and Seattle for 3 during a 2 week span earlier this month and I did NOT see a single C63 or any AMG's for that matter. In NYC I saw maybe 1 Ferrari and a Maserati and that really was about it.

I like it. Only downsides I can see is a) they will be a dime a dozen so it won't be as special as a car that you don't see as frequently and b) it's sounds terrible. Hopefully an aftermarket solution improves the sound (capristo, etc.)

I agree they sound terrible stock, a good set of headers and exhaust system will likely solve that, my only issue is to get the right package, ie stage three aero its likely to be 125k canadian...huge performance for sure but thats way too much coin for a chevy.

Very cool how the Z06 retains the targa top
