Thinking of buying a second ZL1 with A10

trident · 04-16-2017, 07:32 AM

Have one more spot in the garage for another car and considering a coupe this time with an A10. It is either that or a Z06. The dealer has 135 Corvettes in stock and two ZL1's. Another dealer has 3 ZL1's with A10. Supplier pricing or military discount available with rebate available, but invoice plus part of the 4% dealer hold back shooting for. My wife will kill me, but the ZL1 looks better than the Corvette and my life time is shrinking. LS1 or Z06?

L99BEN · 04-16-2017, 07:35 AM

Z06 imo

Shaq74 · 04-16-2017, 07:45 AM

Z06

VAZL1 · 04-16-2017, 07:46 AM

Considering you already have a 17 ZL1. I would purchase the 17 Z06.

tmill2 · 04-16-2017, 09:01 AM

ZL1 had 2 C7 Z06's and the Camaro rides better and drives just as good and quieter inside also more room IMO

Iroc_Z28 · 04-16-2017, 09:09 AM

If you can, i'd wait for the zr1 in 2018... otherwise, 17 z06 for sure

If you already have a ZL1, I'd get either the 1LE or the Z06

I own one of each. I just received my ZL1 A10 convert. I have a Z06 A8 convert with the Z07 package and now all carbon fiber parts. The Zl1 is fast. The Z06 is brutally fast and a real thrill to drive. Trust me on this one, go with the Z06.

Driven the Cadillac CTS V and the Mercedes GTS at COTA and the Cadillac IMO performed better than the GTS and faster. The CTS V is very impressive. Disadvantage of the Z06 is how low it sits to the ground and are roads suck. The Camaro doesn't have a problem and the CTS V would not have a problem. Here in DFW it seems that those who own a Corvette are guys like me going through a mid life Crisis, however I am past that stage.

I would do the CTS-V over the vette myself as well...seems like a more logical choice to the line up.

init4fun · 04-16-2017, 11:08 AM

My first question would be, Can you fit in a vette. I'm a pretty average sized guy at 6'1" at 250 lbs but i'm extremely uncomfortable in the Z06 seats. Next, Can you get in and out of it easliy.

If you're comfortable then the Z06 is the faster car but be warned that it's brutal in a lot of aspects and the Camaro is a more user friendly car.

But in other parts of the world I'm just sitting here trying to see if I can swing a craigslist beater truck. :/

Z06 for sure. There are dealers with some Z06s
advertised with an asking 15K back of sticker and that is their asking price.

laynlo15 · 04-16-2017, 11:31 AM

CTS-V, its very refined and if you want to haul some extra girls if that's ok with your wife. Ha, that CTS is very cool car also and that gives you the best of all worlds and its pretty freaking fast.
