Picked up a Z07
So the empty spot in my garage finally got to me. I picked up a 2016 Corvette Z06 with Z07 package on Friday. Shark Gray over Kalahari (tan) interior. I have barely driven the car, so it is not fair for me to try to make any comparisons yet. I am waiting for my radar install (tomorrow) and for my set of winter wheels/tires to go on (hopefully Saturday) for me to actually floor the throttle at speeds under 70 mph.
I can tell you that I crapped my pants driving it home from Atlantic City. The 335 Pilot Sport Cup 2 rears do NOT like 50 degree temps. Car is downright dangerous to drive in the cold on those tires.
More to come.

Congrats buddy!! I had a C6 Z06 and I really miss that car! Very violent car. The Z06 has a visceral feeling that's hard to explain.
I knew there must have been a method to your madness

Thanks, guys. Will give you my honest assessment soon. I'm pretty objective when it comes to cars.

Although you may perspire a little more then in the 991 LOL
The car will be a blast! I will always hold a special place in my heart for the Ford GT and anything Z0 or ZR.

I have a 1280 HP '08 Z...which I am selling and will get that exact car/ color you have chosen, to replace my '08. Z06's are beasts and like 991 TT/S's, make a superb DD! Best bang for the buck out there today!! I have had lots of Vettes and they just keep getting way better each generation...
Congratulations on your purchase!! I love that color!

Congratulations!
I was able to drive a Corvette Z06 and a GT3 on the same track a few months ago. The GT3 was sublime and smooth and the Vette was a beast but much better than the prior generation. Both were a lot of fun. The Vette was impressive!
