Z06 OR ERAY?

[ian1975]

Hi to all,

I was curious to know your thoughts. If you had the chance to order a Z06 or a Eray, which one will you choose and why?

Thanks!

Ian

What is it you are looking for? Performance? collectability? daily driver? Looks?
Eray isn't worth it to me for anything other than looks with the wide body.
Z06 is trackability. So you want to race it.
Stingray to me is the everyday car.

Hi Murray20c8,

Performance & trackability: My Stingray is enough for me. I don't track even with my Z51 package.
Collectability: Yes, so that it will keep it's value in the long term
Daily driver: Yes, I want it to be the practical & confortable for daily use
Looks: Yes, I would love a beautiful look but not too agressive
Coupe vs convertible: I have a coupe but I would love to have a convertible because I'm too lazy to take the roof off manually and I would love to enjoy roofless on a beautify & sunny summer day

Hi Ian, IMO the Stingray is enough, but if I was to drive it all year I might want the Eray. The Z06 is too much a race car for my tastes. Like it? Sure I do, but it's not for me. I also think the price of the Eray is too high for it's value.

I wanted a Z06 HTC but the delta is now $100k over a 2023 SR when you factor in lux tax and 13% in Ontario. It’s just not worth it in my eyes.

The Eray is a bit of an unknown with the electric motor, will it require replacing in 8 years and at what cost? The delta is also +$90k over a similarly equipped 2023 SR

I understand we all make our own personal decisions based on needs and wants.

For $100k extra it would make more sense to keep a Stingray + get another $100k fun car

Is that what you did? A red and blue one on your driveway

Pass the Kool-Aid, please.
Surely there is $100,000.00 value here somewhere.

yes, I will keep my 2024 rapid blue and will be selling my 2021 torch red for something else...

I recently traded my 2021 911 Carrera S 7spd had it for 3yrs 11k on the odometer.

I should be trading in my 2021 C4S sometime this year for a eray/z06, has 9k km, probably will take a huge hit since I bought it over msrp 2022 fall, oh well…

Anthony, I will be interested to hear from you which car you prefer once you've had a chance to drive the 3LT HTC!

911 4S is tough to beat, ok if you want a change though.

A 992 911 Carrera S with manual will always have a special place in my car memories, driver engagement rowing your own is the best and very satisfying.
