In my view the focus for the Z06 will be the engine sound/revs - Another case of them taking a thing only a Ferrari or LFA owner really got to enjoy and making it much more mainstream - Kudos Chevy! For me - This makes the Z even LESS appealing... I want a fun car to drive I can drive to work daily in Wisconsin - Not something exotic which I think the Z will be.

If you think the Z will be all about 0-60 times you're sadly misinformed. The car was meant to destroy lap times and is rumored to break the 7 minute mark at the ring. Even the monster C7 ZR1 couldn't have done that.
Corvettes in general aren't meant for everyone so there really isn't a point to compare corvettes to the M3/M4. The corvette is in another league.
Especially since the main comparison is the BASE C8 vs "x" car.
There's still like 4 variants left in the C8 lineup lol.
GM will kill the competition before they go all EV for the corvette.
