Pulled the trigger on a C8 Z06

[Speedy!]

Speedy: If you HAD to choose one, which would it be? Not a fair question, at least at this point, but what the hell!

Market on 170s has crashed imo. Im not sure if it's economy, srt rebirth, or folks tired of the platform but now could be a good time to buy if you've been eyeing one.

Z06 vs 170 is a tough call and to soon for me to have a solid opinion.

Z06 is a really fun car so far and a better touring car I don't mind putting miles on. If you wanna rip around it wins.

If you want an occasional driver you take to the strip and whip ass the 170 wins.

I've personally never liked limited edition cars, the circumstances around the 170 had me buy it as an exception. Its a really fun car, but I do feel like Im throwing $100 bills out the window when Im putting miles on it. With the prices coming down to msrp or less not as much.

I see 2 turbskis

And it's an Eray which is AWD. I considered one but worried about the complexity of the hybrid system long term.

I thought of you when taking the picture.

You think the twin turbos will add to the complexities?

Nah that's easy

Nah that's easy

So they cracked it and can totally tune them now? I know that was an issue a few years back

Exactly, I ignore posts like that, completely senseless. My 170 runs low 9s EASILY at almost 150mph and that's AFTER driving an hour and a half to the track and back again. Everyone who bought a 170 isn't a seasoned racer.

Or even ANY kind or racer

I was never beaten by a 2018 Demon in my Hellcat. Most people that buy Demons have no idea how to race but people sure like to point at them as the car's benchmark of performance.

But this is a thread about a Z06 I'm hoping it runs low 10s on street tires but we'll see.

You will, it has to be there. You have read what I can get the RE to do, and it was a bich to get it moving. I have driven a Z06, given it was a real hot day, but traction in the rear seems like not a big worry.

A friend of mine bought this base model last week
We have been giving him the gears " Bud Light Blue"

Its advertised as a 11.20 ride

My Cat won t touch it on the street at any speed I m willing to drive

Just fwiw, a couple weeks ago I roll raced a new Z06 3-4 times from like 50 mph with my redeye, they were super close runs, like door to door. I feel like on the longest one I creeped on him ever so slightly.

Sweet new ride, congrats!
