I know you're thinking of ordering one so if it floats your boat all good but for me I'd have kept my Stingray before shelling out an extra 50 to 75k on an ERAY
Watch the throttle house review , I'm all in on the Z06 but your needs/wants may differ
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.
