I drove a new 26 Z06 today and it did not impress me coming from a ZL1 6 speed.
It didnt seem that fast off the line and the engine has to get over 6k to start pulling hard. The DCT shifting is just weird...maybe coming from a manual made me feel this way.

The Z06 sounds nice and it has tons of grip. I didnt really get on it since it wasnt my car but it just felt disconnected.

the price was 138K for the Z06

Im keeping my Camaro

Also considering the massive Transmission issues most c8 corvettes are having it once again proves the ZL1 is a keeper.

Any thoughts guys?
