Love the stickers and I may have to do the same to see what kind of reactions it will get

They are so completely different:

2015 Z06 bought new - 85,000 miles in 5yrs - rotated thru the service department constantly - below is what i had to say at 71k miles - the service never stopped all the way to 85,000

While i enjoyed driving it - the TTS set me straight in what a sports car should be for me - felt "connected" immediately - no comparison at all

And i'm not even talking about the overall driving experience (night & day difference)

No need to try the C8....

2015 Z06 convertible - purchased new April 2015 - currently 71k miles

3 Flex plates - first one at 2400 miles - had to remove transmission & drive shaft to replace it
1 Torque Converter
1 Rear Differential (complete)
2 Valve Springs (broken) - 1 @38k the other @ 65k miles
3 Service Rear Axle "issues"
3 StabilTrac Issues - bad solenoid on rear differential
4 wheels - repurchased out of pocket

currently at 71k+ miles — in the shop:
SuperCharger making noise - will be replaced
Service Brakes On Driver Information Screen - possibly a sensor wire worn
Excessive Oil Consumption - Compression Test scheduled
Oil usage when on/off throttle driving, is...shall I say....a quart every drive of 300+ miles (I’ll usually do that on a day drive)

I didn’t have any maintenance issues with my 08Z. High revving NA (high revving at the time) 427. Was a lot of fun but in a different league than the TTS

the TTS is “grip and go” machine

Student Driver.
$2700 for leather slats.
This thread is pure gold.
Congrats to the new owner of this rare Dolomite car. Many people are getting them 2nd hand and not having to wait 6 mos or more to get one, nice!
I waited a year by the time I asked my dealer to get me a car, putting down a $1000 deposit and then finally getting the car.
Second hand, rocks compared to this long wait.
I love my silver car too! Shows the lines beautifully.
My wife loves riding in the car, too.
