[QUOTE="DW Ruby, post: 332458, member: 8592"] Yes, I have watched the 'Throttle House' review, along with every other one I can find. I also don't limit myself here, as I try to gather all the information I can on the Z06 as well. Setting aside the logical argument that my current C8 is all I really need (boys and toys, right?), it's a real challenge for me in deciphering which direction to go. Fortunately, I'm in a position that money is not the deciding factor in the initial purchase. Similarly, I really don't put much weight into the resale value down the road. The body style of these two are identical (save for perhaps the rear 'high-wing' on the Z06, which my Wife is dead-set against - small consolation on my part). The performance of either one of these cars clearly surpasses my personal abilities (by a long shot). I cannot fathom ever taking my car out onto a track, but my hat is off to those that do. My Wife could sleep through a filming of 'Law-and-Order' on our front yard, so the E-Ray's 'stealth mode' to me is purely another gimmick. There is no denying the magnificence of the Z06's engine - absolutely everyone talks about how sweet it sounds. All said, I see these as two georgeous vehicles, of vastly different personalities, akin to a set of identical twins torn apart at birth and raised seperately. One very apparent difference in these variants can be found in their following - ask any 'die-hard' enthusiast which direction to go, and the answer always comes up Z06. It need not be validated through any logical discussion - it's just painfully obvious (to them) that the Z06 is the best, while the E-Ray is some form of dressed-up Stingray. Sometimes I wish I had that same 'blinders-on' focus. Alas, I do rant - perhaps I will get a mysterious call that through a non-descript lottery I have been chosen for a ZR1 allocation - problem solved. [/QUOTE]
