2015 z06 c7 corvette or 911 C2?

I'd be interested in the view the Stingray design team held, directed by the team lead, affected by the managers and squawk leaders. Design by a committee is a necessity (watch the Cayman vid) but Chevy needs to sell three times the number of Stingrays. Figure Porsche happy w/ selling 10k 911's; Chevy's target is 30k. Chevy is simply making a sports car for a different group of buyers.

The C7 stingray is still not a car from the same era quality wise as a 991, but you CAN NOT disregard the massive performance difference the C7 Z06 will probably bring to the party/track !
I'm not saying I am going to swap my 991 for a C7 Z06, because ultimately, in the real world where I drive, I do not care about 350bhp or 600bhp, both are too much in daily driving circumstances. But I'm sure very much interested in learning about what the C7 Z06 brings to the table and we'll see from there !

I would not buy anything without driving it. Try them both if you can.
My bet is you'll choose the Porsche.

I tried to drive one before I went ahead with my 911 but all I heard was - order first then try it when it comes in. I would never proceed on those terms. Guess at that point I knew I wasn't dealing with a German car dealership. I took my money elsewhere

They aren't out yet, I'm not sure how you are disappointed in driving a car that doesn't exist in the consumer market yet. I guarantee if you would of tried to go in and ask to drive a Turbo or GT3 before they came out you would get the same response.

Clarification- I was talking about any Stingray.
How does that make you feel now with your incredibly astute analysis

The new ZO6 looks the part and the power is insane, especially at that price point.
That said, I just couldn't feel normal driving a car like that around town.
Although I must say the 911S does lack power IMO and it is the biggest gripe I have with the car, there I said it I'm hoping a GTS will come out next year (when my lease is up) because I may have to shop elsewhere, but it won't be GM!

And to add that it is about $25-30k less (depending on options on the Z) is just a bonus. Even if they were priced the same, I'd say the C7Z takes the cake, where preference would have to be a MAJOR deciding factor to choose another car for performance reasons (whether it be heated seats, AWD, rear-engined, mid-engined, dual clutch, etc...).

Had a 2014 F-Type V8S after my Aston Martin. Quick car and lovely to look at but I had some build quality niggles and was extremely disappointed at how Jaguar made no attempt to solidify the residuals on their halo car. I lost more on my F-Type than I did on my Aston Martin and that's saying something!

Even aston martin is changing up their game with AMG now helping them. I kinda am wondering what those will be like. Probably complete animals for cars.
