[QUOTE="CamsC8, post: 310655, member: 5998"] [USER=5899]@netsinah[/USER] very good analysis of the Z06 above. However, I too will be a bit of a fly in the ointment as I've driven a friends Z06. Initial impressions are "wow this is stiff in tour mode" which is collaborated by the designers and Tadge who said its 35 or 40% stiffer and feels like the Stingray Sport or Track modes. When I was driving it on the east end GTA roads I didn't like how bumpy it felt and reminded me of when I lowered my 20 Coupe with Z51 only (no mag ride). The second impression I had was the continual drone or exhaust note that on longer trips would drive me nuts (and trust me I am an exhaust loving guy...I have high flow sport cats and aftermarket exhaust on my NSX). What I noticed driving the Z06 was that it needed to be higher in the RPM range to really enjoy it whereas the E-Ray will be the better street car with off the dig acceleration that won't put you in jail etc. Is the Z06 a track weapon - YUP! Is it built to be stiff and throaty - YUP! Is it a good street car - debatable. And...now that the 2024 configurator is up but showing "Contact dealer for pricing" on the Z06...I feel there's a massive increase in price coming as GM won't be caught with their head in the sand knowing what dealers have been receiving on uplift. I hope I am wrong but I feel they like Porsche, aren't in it to allow others to profit (see Porsche's massive increase in pricing across all models due to shareholder pressure). [B]E-Ray:[/B] I'm personally excited about the Stealth Mode. When I am up in the morning at 6am I start my Stingray up and it wakes my daughter up, the neighbors up etc. It will be great to get out of my garage and neighborhood without the fuss.
