Refresh of motor, cam upgrade & exhaust (kooks and borla), clutch replace, power steering leak (technical service bulletin - rerouting & upgraded part). About $12,000 first year… Not cheap if you get a car that has problems. The positive is I now have a car that is 100% mechanically perfect. With minor bolt-on’s 550 WHP. No aftermarket heads. Had valves checked while engine was torn down. Will do heads next time engine requires opening.

Looking to get into either a 2016 C7 Stingray (7 speed manual) Non Z51 OR a 2007/08 C6 Z06 stock. Have you ever drove a C7 Stingray Standard ? I’m not ready to buy yet, I’m a few years away. Liked and subscribed

@CaylebPletos

Thanks is much! They are both beautiful cars, the C7 comes with much more tech and luxury items. However it’s much heavier, it’s a tiny bit slower than the C6 Z06 but not by a lot. If your looking at a C6 Z familiarize yourself with the “heads issue”. I’d say the z06 is about 5ish grand cheaper BUT it will probably hold its value a little more than the base C7

Cayleb Pletos thanks ! Yeah I’m hearing more about the heads issue now that I’m watching more vids of the C6 Z06. Again I’m a few years away until I’ll be ready to buy. TBH, I like the interior fit & finish of the C7 stingray better as you said. I won’t be tracking it, so I think the C7 will be my better option. The C6 Z06 is an animal and it really shines on the track, lighter weight and 505 hp vs. 455 hp. Advantage. Appreciate your feedback!

Cayleb Pletos premium gas is not a sense of performance as the octane does not change powert. The point of 91/93 gas in performance cars is to deter pre-detonation. Performance cars have more aggressive forces happening than economy cars so they need a higher octane to stop the from early ignition. Definitely run premium if you should
