3,664 is heavy and mid-engine vette is just around the corner..... but no doubt it'll go.

Love Vettes. Owned 2 generations of Z06. But...that thing is all kinds of ugly. I guess it's Chevy's answer to the ACR? Personally, I'd rather they make a 550hp NA grandsport.

**Ouch. 140 lbs extra, on the nose of the car.

A monster, but a $120k base is ambitious despite it being a "relative bargain". 2017 Grand Sports are being discounted $15k, Z06 $20k off. New GS are in the $50's, but hard to find one with the right transmission and spec.

The C8 mid-engined replacement is the one to watch for.

I’ve always respected vettes for being the value they are, and acknowledge they’re iconic and American made. What’s not to like?

They’re ugly. All of them. Every year from classic to modern. The C7 is the best looking one they’ve made, but the back end looks like an incomplete Pinewood Derby car. I saw a grand sport for sale yesterday. Fantastic car, obviously. But the rear end looked like a flat 4 foot wall made of plastic and trumpets.

The perf this one seems capable of is enticing, and it’s probably the only thing like it I could get at or below sticker (family connections) but I already know I wouldn’t like it as much as my 991.

Ask me again when I get a 15K bill for the transmission or a 30K bill for the engine the day it’s out of warranty next year and I’m sure I’ll have changed my mind 😂

Wonder what the ZR1 'Ring time is?

By the way, do we have a C7 Z06 'Ring time yet? (no snark)

Sounds like an awesome car! Wish the new GT3 had at least 400+ lb-ft of torque.
