Spoiler notwithstanding, it looks 100x better than the stingray. Looks like an actual supercar, not the wish.com version of one.

100% agree... the C8 Stingray is just so meh. Looks like a ferro body kit where at the least on-screen the Z06 now looks like a proper Sports?/Supercar

IMO the best looking Corvette is in this order C2, C1, C5, C7 and maybe now this C8 in the Z06

Give me a Restomod C2 427 anyday

**killramos** · 10-05-2022, 01:19 PM

C7?

Really?

The Corvette is one of those strange cars where the performance trims don't ruin the car's overall looks -for the most part. I think the C8 is no different. The car desperately needed some width, and that is the main benefit of the Z06 I think. The C6 Z06, and the C5 Z06 also benefitted from a more subtle approach to the styling. I think the non-Z07 version of the Z06 is the one to get.

No love for the early C3? '69 ZL1 is among my favs.

C6 Z06/ZR1 is one of my favorite looking cars ever made.. (Exterior wise

)

But as you have stated before, the performance metrics of a car are irrelevant. Your attraction to this car is solely based on appearance?

I think this car would be more fun to drive than the standard version... And it looks better.

Really?

I didn't think so, but driving my friend's blacked out 2019 C7 Z06 changed my mind

I don't know if you guys think this, but I just love the simple styling of the C5... reminds me of how Porsche's 993 was just a timeless design

Do fun to drive and performance metrics relate? I believe that there is a correlation, but I’m also the type to choose the slower manual shifted version which fore goes performance for fun. I still feel performance metrics matter though…..

The new Z06 is extremely impressive from an engineering perspective and this shows based on the performance metrics. The metrics are the literal confirmation of increased driving enjoyment as far as I’m concerned.

That's a pretty niche car to have as a favorite. Only 2 built.

Normally I like GM, but this car does nothing for me. I'd still rather have a C6, or a 5th gen ZL1 or Z28 if I was going to have a GM car.

**Darkane** · 10-05-2022, 06:10 PM

I like it. NA swan song

I think this will top out for NA V8 horsepower. Nobody will touch it.

Ford is probably looking at 105hp/L for their 5.4L coyote. Which is still 567hp.

Fun.

I can't tell from any written number the degree to which I will enjoy a car. If you can, then that makes your shopping team easier.

It’s now much more clear how you ended up with a Ridgeline in your driveway.

I am greatly relieved that you have clarity on my purchasing decisions.

What you actually are observing, however, is the behaviour of a person who cares basically zero about what people think about him. It is clear to me that you care a great deal about what people think of you.

I’m just here looking for validation.

At least the full zoot Z07 package doesn't look as dumb as this:
