Re: 2017 GS or Z06?
Priced a GS 2LT and a similiar equiped Z06. $30 000 price difference. Only benefit is the extra 200hp and it will get me to a divorce lawyer a little faster if I spend the 30gs. Haha

Re: 2017 GS or Z06?
Adding a blower on N/A designed engine, is a lot different than getting an OEM designed supercharged engine from the factory.
Both will run the number, but for how long? Then there are resale considerations. |

Re: 2017 GS or Z06?
oem blower on zo6 is not that great/new zo6 do not impress me,and all those that opt for 07 package and then drive from home to coffee shop//cup tires should not be sold for street use,do you really need more then 460 hp?everywhere I go you see 3 times as many c7s as anything else./how about all wheel drive,or mid engine/or o/head cams again//turbos are smarter too

Re: 2017 GS or Z06?
When I decided to move on to a new Corvette, having owned the "King of the Hill" cars for almost 20 years, I had to have the top dog. Or at least a pretty big dog. Got a mid-level Z06 and since it is still pretty expensive even with a big discount (and likely my last Corvette), I ordered it and tailored it to my desires. Got a Long Beach Red with Kalahari interior, 2LZ with Nav/Performance Data Recorder and body colored vents for a stealth look rather than the boy racer look (which I am not anymore). Not a Z07. Love the car. My ZR-1s were great, but what a difference a roughly 30 year improvement in technology makes! And if you get a new one, GM underwrites 2/3 the cost of a two day Ron Fellows High Performance Driving course at Spring Mountain outside of Las Vegas. (True for all Corvette models). Just did that last week. (That's me in the gray racer) Great fun! If anyone is interested, here is as link to a couple of videos from the Spring Mountain track: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbN...B0sS26hE-bec3g). But any of the C7s are great cars. I just had to have a big dog and I do love it--Bob

Re: 2017 GS or Z06?
Neither. I'd take a no mile 2013 ZR1. Preferably in the white,red interior with brushed aluminum-black wheels.😁 But if I had to choose from the 2 choices it would be the Z06 grey metallic with silver wheels. This C7 combo is the only C7 I've seen that I'd own.

Re: 2017 GS or Z06?
Congratulations, Jeff. I see the Harley and the 90 still there too- quite a coup! Look forward to connecting soon.
