Looking to get into either a 2016 C7 Stingray (7 speed manual) Non Z51 OR a 2007/08 C6 Z06 stock. Have you ever drove a C7 Stingray Standard ? I’m not ready to buy yet, I’m a few years away. Liked and subscribed
@CaylebPletos4 жыл бұрын
Thanks is much! They are both beautiful cars, the C7 comes with much more tech and luxury items. However it’s much heavier, it’s a tiny bit slower than the C6 Z06 but not by a lot. If your looking at a C6 Z familiarize yourself with the “heads issue”. I’d say the z06 is about 5ish grand cheaper BUT it will probably hold its value a little more than the base C7
@stephendibari50104 жыл бұрын
Cayleb Pletos thanks ! Yeah I’m hearing more about the heads issue now that I’m watching more vids of the C6 Z06. Again I’m a few years away until I’ll be ready to buy. TBH, I like the interior fit & finish of the C7 stingray better as you said. I won’t be tracking it, so I think the C7 will be my better option. The C6 Z06 is an animal and it really shines on the track, lighter weight and 505 hp vs. 455 hp. Advantage. Appreciate your feedback!

And price point is better. Hopefully by then they will be in the mid to upper 20k range
