C7 Z51?

[SSSN8KE]

I’m looking to purchase a C6 or a C7. I’m not sure which way to go eg: C6/7 Base model with the 3LT interior or step up to a C6/7 with the Z51 option and 3LT interior? This will be a weekend driver only, no track just a cruiser.

Thanks!
Stu.

I would go C7 Z51 3LT. Good luck.

For a weekend cruiser, I suggest a C7 Grand Sport 3LT, convertible

If it's a weekend cruiser for you, the Z51 doesn't really do much for you. I have driven both and have noticed zero difference in the handling or the ride. That being said, If you were going to track the car, the mag ride would likely make some difference in the handling. The 3LT though is a great upgrade in my opinion.

Thanks for chiming in! 3LT interior for sure

It is a Vette/sportscar, you want all the power/performance you can get , trust me.

A few things to consider for a 'Vert (I have one as you can see)
If the missus is cruising with you does she like the open air or is more worried about how her hair looks.
If anyone has had skin cancer then it is almost a big no-no. That can be overcome by either keeping the top up unless you are alone or proper sunscreen and head wear (wide brim hat)

Get something with MAG Ride! It makes a big difference in the comfort on less than smooth roads of which is the vast majority for many of us. If you like main highway cruising it wouldn't make too much of a difference but if you like the less travelled twist and turn back roads you do occasionally encounter a few bumps.

I enjoy the bumps. Makes it more interesting.

Some very good points to consider. I remember a few years back when I had a Superformance Cobra the wife would never get in it (her hair) lol. I’m not much of a highway cruiser I would much rather take the back roads so maybe I should consider the MAG Ride. To be honest I haven’t seen many for sale with MAG Ride.
Thanks for chiming in, much appreciated

A lot of people don't know if they have mag ride or not and even fewer salesmen of used cars know either. Pop the hood and look at the shock tower. There will be an electrical wire coming out of the shock.
