any you folks corvette fans? i've had a few of them and each time i get one, they out do the previous model. i currently have 2010 Grand Sport, liked the Sting Ray but have been waiting for this Z06 for over a year now. Supercharged engine in tis version pushing 625 horses, like 100 more than the previous version. what i don'ty like is the rear, looks like the Camaro. However, what i really like is the revamped interior as the past 2 i've owned had the same boring inside. the price has not been issued on this yet but would think would remain competitve to the previous version as the Sting Ray did. We'll see

Looks good. It will be interesting to see how it compares with its counterparts. I prefer the Nissan GTR

Re: 2015 Z06

I like the way it looks and the boost in HP is aweome. GTR is a badass car but way rto many computer controls. A monkey could drive it fast. The least amounf of computer controls the better, i like manual transmissions and 100% driver control.

Re: 2015 Z06

Re: 2015 Z06

Yes sounds like they will still have a ZR1 version! I hate that car companies cant make natural horsepower anymore! Ford cant make shit for power without. Now Chevy! Although I do like this version, I will always be more of a viper fan!

Re: 2015 Z06

Agree, that was the charm of the vipers for me, Where the vet went of and became this computer controlled everything car, the viper stayed true old school muscle. I still would chose the viper over anything out there, but would go with a earlier model for the fun of driving. Cars are almost driving themselves now a days!

it is all about the EPA. normally aspirated engines are not as efficient as turbo or SC. they can make more HP and get better fuel economy and that is the bottom line. also from a tuner aspect a NA motor might get 8-10 HP from a tune but a FI can get 40-50 HP just from a tune.

i love the viper too but i hate that v10 sound, just sounds like a bad ass motor with a tone of fart in the back ground. i went to a dyno day recently with the GTO and there were 5-6 vipers that dynoed and i did not hear one of them that sounded good to me at full throttle.

i will take the turbo cars all day. love the whoosh of a turbo spooling up. or the whine of a SC

Re: 2015 Z06

Not taking anything away from them, Just love the viper and I love a good strong NA motor! I still love the vette as well! Yeah the v10 has a little bit of a euro sports car sound! Only thing I hate about it! 2013 Hennessey Viper with Long-Tube Headers and 3 in. Exhaust Upgrade - YouTube
