After reading the reviews, I admit I was sorely tempted by the idea of a GT500(R).
I have been waiting for a C8Z as a 'move up' from my 1LE. But, the C8Z is two years away...the GT500 is here now...
And then I thought...the C8 is at the beginning of it's model life (Z51, C8GS, C8Z, C8 ZR1, etc) and the GT500 is at the end of it's.
And the Z51 already beats it.
Back to waiting for the C8Z.
