The only thing is that there will be so many EV's on the road, we're all literally going to be left in the dust. Unless we continue to drive the very top of the line performance cars, just to keep up with average EV cars lol. Crazy how 2 decades or so from now, anyone can hop in an EV, and do 0-100mph in like 5 seconds lol. Jetsons here we come!!! |

I've driven and rode in a handful of teslas. It's an odd feeling at first. Driving feels numb, almost fake. The steering wheel is small compared to most normal cars. The regen takes a bit of getting used to. Some tesla quality is better than others. Even of the same MY. But i totally get why people adore them. They just love that instant EV torque. But it does taper off around 90. So unless you encounter a plaid on the road, don't be afraid to take on a tesla from a roll. |

I dont think you're going to see much better than 7:30s from a Stock G8X. 7:12 is nuts.

The car was a lease, gave it back about 4 months ago. Dealer has been sitting on it since... as you can see by that healthy price hike. Nobody is paying that amount for it, but doesn't hurt to ask these days... i agree, that LT4 was one reliable sob. Lots of 40 rolls and lots of feelings hurt, never one issue. |

Just traded my C8 for an M4C Xdrive... It was fun but I wanted a nicer interior and frankly not all the attention that the C8 gets everywhere.
Much less a Z06 flavor that's even more capable - I just drive it to work and back and will probably not ever take it to the track. Just my $.02 |

I did the same thing with my C7. I ended up just driving it to work, and Im 6'3, it just got to be a hassle to drive. I was just too tall to fit in it comfortably.
I was all over the C8, for a long time. I watched the event, live, online, on launch day, and couldnt wait to get one. Allocations waned, and I lost interest. Not to mention, there are a few at work, and while it does look great, I just love turbos, more. And the G8X platform is much better suited for how I like to drive, and the overall interior headroom.

I been debating on selling my c7z but every weekend when i drive it, i change my mind lol. This has been going on for the past 2 years. Thought about selling it again this year because the used market is booming right now but i just can't. Dealer offered 62k right there on the spot when i showed up but i couldn't. Mainly because over the phone they were like you can get up 80k for your car!!! Let us see it!! Found out that was bullshit to get me in the door and i guess they thought i'd drool over the counter offer in person which was 62k but no thanks. Even though 99% of others would jump on it, i wouldn't do it based on not giving them that satisfaction. I'll keep the car until my c8 z06 arrives. Then i'll decide what to do. |

I am considering these two cars. Have not driven a C8 nor the new M3 (although I am going to the BMW track day in NY in 2 weeks or so). The Z06 for 100k is really compelling. I don't much care for the looks of the C8, but the performance and engine will make up for it I am guessing. But I don't like the attention factor either. That's another drawback of the C8, although eventually they'll be pretty commonplace. |

I can't fully replace my corvette with the M3 though. They're not the same car obviously. The M3 will just be an addition. |

Also after owning the the Z I’m just not sure I would need the new Z06. Regular C8 or or the 340 or M3 is all plenty. I never thought I’d say this but cars are quickly reaching a point where I’m not sure they need more power. The plus side is it makes a lot of the non-GTS/GT models for Porsche more attractive these days as they have also gotten faster. |

The C7 z06/zr1 could be "grouped" with supercars because of the performance but it lacks the qualities of it being an actual supercar. Even if the new z06 comes out to be naturally aspirated (i hope not), then i think GM is onto something in creating their own GT3/RS like in the z06. Having a weight reduced NA platform that's all about track duty. However there are so many rumors regarding this, i just can't wait to see what's the truth when they finally debut the car october 26. I already marked my calendar. Some people said there's like 3 or 4 variants of the z06. And there won't be any ZR1 this time and GM will go right for the heavens and throw every piece of engineering they could at the almighty "ZORA" model. With a twin turbo hybrid AWD producing 1000hp. It'll be insane. I just hope the new z06 is twin turbo though. |

You mentioned the xDrive, however is the xDrive actually faster around a track than the lighter RWD car?

I'm not mad though. Because at least they extracted the most out of the engine. Plus it'll be the last of it's breed. Something to buy and hold onto for a very long time. That's my goal. |
