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?

Thoughts? Well, stock for stock the Z06 is much more capable. The ZL1 takes some tuning work to beat a C8 Z06. In spite of that, I'd much rather have my ZL1-1LE M6. It's a more engaging car to drive, and I love the brute force nature of it. It's easier to work on, and I prefer the engine architecture.
