[QUOTE="DenisC8, post: 335253, member: 6490"] agree 100% that E-Ray will outperform Z06 in the real world, but it may not be as fun as the Z06 because at the end of the day we are not racers and lowest time is not what we do for a living. Corvettes are our toys and toys are meant to be fun. The fact that the C8 stingray is so easy to live with and daily drive, might actually take away some of that fun, sense of occasion, feeling one would get from driving muscle car, race car or an exotic. the time most C8 owners spend at wide open throttle can be counted in seconds not minutes, and 0-60mph in 3 seconds is not as fun as 4 seconds outside of competition with another vehicle because its over in 3 seconds. Z06 will do that in 2.5 seconds and E-Ray may even get it down to 2.2 seconds. we are paying $100K more to decrease the length of fun. last year I did one of my corvette cruises in my 2020 BMW X5 M-Sport (0-60 in 4.8 sec) as I was preparing to trade my 2021 Tourch Red C8, and to my surprise I drove way faster/ more aggressive and most guys where keeping up less. Even when we do drive "aggressively" most of us are not accelerating quicker than 5 sec. So if we actually only need 0-60 in 5 seconds to have fun, we would enjoy more a car that does 5 seconds to 60 at wide open throttle, than a 2.8 second car where we roll onto the throttle or give partial throttle to accelerate to 60 in 5 seconds. miata, BRZ/GR86, and classic air cooled 911s are fun because your can use 100% of the power.
