[QUOTE="CamsC8, post: 325145, member: 5998"] I'll chime in here as I'm both a multiple C8 owner (past), have done a few track days and the Spring Mountain driving school, understand the C8 platform and currently drive a Hybrid Supercar - the NSX. Ive driven the Z06 in tour mode and to me it feels like a split between the Stingray Sport and Track modes on a mag ride/Z51 equipped car. It's noticeably stiffer than the Stingray for sure and the flat plane crank V8 engine sound can drone unless you open it up. Would I own a Z06, yes for track and if it was a weekend play toy only. Daily driver, no way because in order to get the low down torque you really need to push the car. Here's where the E-Ray will shine. The E-Ray is like the NSX with loads of low end torque and monster like launches so for street and long road trip use Hell yeah. The Stingray is an awesome track toy and I feel the E-Ray will also be equally as fun even with the added weight. I drove my NSX down to Atlanta this summer and played with it on the famous Tail of the Dragon and literally had to get out at the end of the twisties to grab air and not puke. I'm torn as a 1LZ Z06 for track would be fun as heck but the overall package of E-Ray having the widebody, hybrid assist motors, all wheel drive and standard ceramic brakes completes the overall package. The Swiss Army knife of C8s. One thing I didn't think I'd like is when the NSX saunters out of the garage in battery mode, uses it on the street and quietly drives into the garage. It's cool. The E-Ray stealth feature will be just a great and I think it's something folks will like. Want the V8 sound...hammer the gas pedal. Solved. Carbon ceramics on the NSX are incredible and unless it's being tracked will last many years so I really wouldn't concern yourself with that cost on the E-Ray especially rotors. Just my $0.02 and I'm keen to compare it to the NSX if my allocation comes. [/QUOTE]
