I still prefer c2 and c5z exterior but c7 drivetrain is very impressive.

the sad thing is, base model C7 is probably just as fast as C6 Z06.

Just personal preference, I think they look pretty sick, goes along nicely with the rear of the car

Pricing starts at $78,995 for the coupe and $83,995 for the convertible. Both those figures include destination, but don't include things like tax, title, license and optional equipment. And as we revealed when the order guide surfaced, there is some enticing optional equipment on offer.

An extra $2,995 will get you the Carbon Fiber Ground Effects package with enhanced aero. $7,995 will get you the Z07 Performance Package with Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, upgraded tires and even more aggressive aero. There are three trim levels available and a host of other packages and options you can read all about in the press release below, from the Premium Package leather trim to the Performance Data Recorder.

No matter which way you set it up, though, you're getting a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 650 horsepower and just as much torque. And though the price of entry may seem high, it comes down to a downright steal compared to the six figures Chevy got for the previous ZR1 (whose place the new Z06 effectively takes) and which Dodge gets for a new Viper

Corvette has provided hard to ignore bang for your buck fairly consistently IMO.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 first drive | Autoweek

Andy Pilgrim lapped Road Atlanta only 3 seconds slower than the Audi R8 LMS car (http://www.audir8lmscup.com/en)

Very, very impressive.

Is it better than a Porsche, Ferrari or McLaren?

Think it's fair to say it's going to crush anything less than a 918, P1 or LaFerrari. Its combination of relentless power, unshakeable chassis - with all its clever technology that works with you - and vast brakes is unbeatable at the moment. And that's just on the track. On the road, it's just as much fun. Dial back the chassis, flip off the roof panel - a first for all Z06s - and it'll cruise along in comfort. It's available with an eight-speed automatic or the seven-speed manual, now with uprated rev matching (this is being implemented across the whole Corvette range) that now makes it properly seamless.

Beautiful car.

I am very shocked at the amount of positive comments coming from a group of chinks towards an American vehicle.

Perhaps they have finally learned what is true perfection.

C7 Vette is way too squared off.

More squared off than the GT-R, fucking Chevy trying to copy GT-R's design and they failed miserably.

I don't know why but Corvettes have never been that much of head turner, when GT-R passes by, people will look at it but Corvette not as much .
