Default Re: What's your next corvette?

I’m lining up my finances for a 2009 or 2010 c6 ZR-1 within the next couple years. To me, the LS9 is the last real hand built “race engine” in a corvette...

Since your an “ LS7/LS9 Test Enginieer” I guess you should know. If I’m not mistaken we spoke at BG last year and that’s what you really are...

Ya I'm not unhappy with the ls7 I have now, great power but have always wanted an ls9 zr1. I had a new lt4 z06 so I'm sure that was close

I currently own the '91 ZR-1 and have a '12 ZR1. My next Corvette would be the C8, provided it can accommodate my 6'6" frame. If not, then it will be a BMW M850i.

First the styling better be spot on, I know the technology and performance will be there. But I seriously have doubts I will be able to fit in the car. If the C7 is any indicator, I'm done with Corvettes. The BMW has a back seat, which is useless for me, but I can at least drive the thing comfortably. At this stage in life, I really don't need a backseat anymore. It's usually the wife and i or one kid at a time.
