They shyttin on the Z06 name

Shoulda named this something else

Im also not liking how they were like, 'we had to supercharge it, we couldnt get the power out of it we wanted'.... like the Viper doesn't exist

I liked the raw, focused, lightweight ethos of the C5 and C6 Z06s.... I like this car too, just not as a Z06.
The Viper is using a 8.4L V10. GM doesn't have that option. Making power naturally aspirated either calls for lots of revs(see Ferrari 458 or F12) or tons of displacement(Viper). GM doesn't really have anything that fits those descriptions and still passes future emissions tests.

I see your point, it really is more a ZR1 than Z06 but once you hit the track, I really don't think its going to matter.

Dont get me wrong, it's still a beast and has the hardware to compete with shyt like the 911 Turbo and the F12

But I looked at the Z06 like the Corvette GT3, and now it's more like the Corvette Turbo if that makes sense. I think they really need a raw lightweight version to dice it up with the 911 GT3, 458 Speciale etc. etc. and I dont know if the Z07 will be enough.

Yeah, I agree. GM already did that with the Camaro Z/28 so they've got the blueprint...

8/10 :ehh:

2 demerits due to the atrocious rear and steering wheel/interior....:scusthov:
The interior is pretty nice. I think its very comfortable. Never heard any owners or testers complain about it. 10 times better than the C5 and C6.

The rear is up to interpretation. Its grown a lot on me.

I can't forgive the fact that Chevy chooses to skimp on the Z06 and give owner's virtually the same interior as a Malibu....:scusthov:

I saw one driving around Manhattan last week, it's a great looking car in person.
