Re: I really want a C8
 

The C4 ZR is raw which is so fun to drive. You get the mechanical noises and a direct connection to driving. If I could I?d love to have both.

Re: I really want a C8
 

True--As I have said on the Mid engine corvette forum, the new ZR1 makes me want to invest in tire companies. These days naturally aspirated vs forced induction is less important to me than performance. The supercharged car has great low end torque available at very low rpms. A tenth or two 0-60 loss doesn't worry me these days; the C7 Z is plenty fast for me, despite the quote in my signature. But maybe I am just getting old. (see below). --Bob

I know what you mean. I had a same dilemma and bought a 22 Z51 and kept my 94Z. Love them both:cheers:

Re: I really want a C8
 

I think you would miss that Z eventually.........Sure the C8 is new, faster, handles better, new tech inside and out. But slapping paddle shifters after awhile would be the dealer killer for me. I enjoy the engagement of a manual car

Plus I would miss being in a select club of people with special cars. How people freak out on the car, having never seen one in person. That I would miss......

I hear what you are saying though and understand the pull of it.......I'd LOVE a C6 Grand Sport 6M, or in my dreams, a C6 ZR-1. But then I think about how raw ( no ABS or traction control) and engaging my 91Z is, and that to me is why I will never sell.

Re: I really want a C8
 

The community is one more compelling reason to keep the car even though they are a scarce sight anywhere but maybe a Corvette show. But popularity for C4s in general seems to be building with the Z the top dog,I've waited close to 20 years for this car to once again be in the spotlight,it would be a shame to miss out on that.

Re: I really want a C8
 

I have both and love the ZR-1 much more than the C8. As many have commented I wish I had gotten a C7 Z06 instead. The wife wanted the C8 so that is what we got. Mistake #1. Then we got a Genesis GV70. Too small. Mistake #2. Got rid of the Bently. Mistake #3. I give up.
