Is a used C7 Corvette Z06 the BEST sports car VALUE with supercar performance?

[@amill1563]

A production car with this much power was unheard of in the 80's and 90's.

[@weirdshibainu]

Right? I remember when 4 cylinders were weak and only got 20 mpg, but that was considered good

[@terryrutherford2114]

My same comment that I put on your other Z06 Post. I'm there baby! My first Corvette was a1988 Z51 that I purchased in 2002. In 2004 I purchased a 1991 ZR-1. I sold that in 2017 and bought a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V. Well I sold that last week and bought a 2016 Z06 3LZ convertible. My God, what an awesome car, and I didn't have to pay 100k over MSRP. I let the original owner take the depreciation. It is Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic with 39,225 miles on it. I love it!

[@Smacksmack206]

Hearing this man's excitement while doing pulls in that C7 just warms my heart lol. Made me wanna leave at 7am in the morning to go for a drive 🚗 😂

Flooring the c7 z06 is a very violent feeling. Feels like you’re gonna die

[@deloachapproach4273]

I purchased a 2017 z6 2lz this past Friday. It has a deep growlm as it's 650 hp propels it any awaiting road in search of adventure. By virtue of this, this ninety percent disabled veteran enjoys a bit of adrinaline rush and sense of freedom. I love it!!!

I've thought the same thing. Would have been nice if they could have created the c8 as a totally different model and also still make the C7.

That is a serious ride. So sick and menacing looking. Love the white exterior. Supercharged V8, 650HP WTF. Great review!

[@k.bermejo7334]

Ah, the Arctic White Corvette C7 Z06 with Adrenaline Red interior, my dream car. It just looks absolutely gorgeous! Perfect balance of a simple, sleek, streamlined aesthetic; with a low, agressive stance to it as well. Nothing too exotic, nothing too excessive, nothing overdone. I honestly don't care too much about performance as I don't really plan on driving fast, and I most likely will be caught in traffic anyway, but hey, if I can have supercar performance for 60 grand; you best bet I'm taking it!

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@bladimirhernandez9059]

Before buying my z06 I watch this video many times.. thanks for helping me to make a decision!. I got a 2017 z06 white with red interior and I don't regret at all!. 😊

[@adoddere]

I've had lots of cars, and driven damn near everything under $1M. I love the 2019 Z06 I own now. It's an incredible value. I recently drove a 2021 F8 Tributo and can tell you, in a match of sheer acceleration and speed, it's no contest. A few minutes later, I drove a 2020 Aventador. I'm sure it's faster with the AWD and all, and I believe the specs, but frankly driving it, it didn't feel any quicker/faster. And at over 6x the cost, it's no contest.

[@youngnueve8494]
