    I own a 2015 C7 Z06 manual. It’s my 3rd Corvette. I’ve had close to 50 cars. This is my favorite car.

    The 7 speed is not overkill at all. You drive it like a normal 6 speed manual. 7th is a double overdrive, you only use it when you're going above 65 mph on the freeway. It's really nice to have on long trips, and it allows you to get relatively good MPG.

      I'll never understand why people say anything like that. It's just as dumb as saying 650 HP might be overkill, but 505 isn't. Um, exactly as Vernon said. Just treat it like a six speed except on the highway. DF.

    I have a '13 427 convertible. I've changed out the terrible double din system and put front and rear cameras in, which takes care of the interior.

To get the same kind of power NA, you've got to go with a fairly radical cam (H/C/I), which wouldn't be enjoyable to me. The only advantage of NA I see is that it takes care of the potential LS7 valve guide issue.

      @RustyZipper 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I hear you man and love your enthusiasm 💯👍 If you watch Salmondrin (2 years back- “banging gears”) and DHRstreetSpeed they both will tell you that the ACR is absolutely miserable to drive on the street. The exhaust will burn your legs, it’s cramped inside, minimal traction control, stiff clutch, terrible blind spots etc. Don’t get me wrong I would buy the ACR just to have if I could manage $150 k laying around because they hold their value decent. Most guys only take them to cars and coffee , a few do actually track them , none that I know will daily drive them. Closest I’ve seen is Bryan Savage with an Orange T/A on Instagram and YT : he knows what I am talking about as I honestly know little about Vipers

    • @614XJ
      @614XJ 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rusty Zipper I gotcha. And I live and drive cars how I want and what I feel like they should be. Most people only track it or take it out every weekend for a couple hours. Which is cool. That’s just not me and I don’t believe in that honestly. I daily my C5 and have been for 3 years now. I’m 22, and absolutely love it! Here in Ohio with all the weather we have I don’t see many vette owners doing that. If I had a new z06 I’d daily that too. Idc about resale and depreciation like others do, I just care about me and the car and enjoying life. Lol 😁

      Carbon ceramics are expensive as hell to replace which is probably why Porsche recommends steel brakes for track since they’re way cheaper to replace.
      I’m thinking of getting a Z06 with the Z07 package and if I do, I’m replacing the carbon ceramics with AP Racing steel brakes with them (since you can’t get steel brakes with the Z07 package).
