If that's true though, if I were to order a Z06 I would likely get it without that track pack even though I go to the track. I just don't want to deal with that large front splitter on a car that will also be a DD, and I only do ~4 HPDE weekends per year, no club racing, so I don't think I'll miss the extra tenths that the track pack might bring to the table. Additionally, on the C6 Z06, the Z07 package also included carbon ceramics and PS Cup tires, which I definitely do NOT want. I do want Magnetic Ride Control though, so hopefully that's either standard or a standalone option.

Our M3s have plenty of rattles that set in by 20K miles, so the Krauts are hardly without fault.

There are also rumors that there won't be a ZR1 for this generation, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Sure, I guess it will feel that way for about 3 months as they drive around and feel they got something no one else has. Then reality and buyers remorse will seep in once they realize they could have waited and had the same thing 12 to 24 months later for 20k less. Patience, always pays off.

^ What he said. The level of technology in the new corvette is something to behold.
Especially considering things like the Performance Data Recorder which is GM responding to track-day enthusiasts with mucho favor. Compare that with the new M3/M4 $ for $, the C7 is absolutely world class. |
