Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Exclusive First Drive: 2023 Corvette Z06 | Jay Leno's Garage

I think you made a wise choice on that one Gary...  car and color.  Nice timing too.

My only comment on the new Vette...  what is with that hunk of bodywork hanging off the back edge of the door when it's open?  Couldn't they clean up that design?   Seems like an ooops.

On paper the stats look good, the sound is much better thanks to the flat-plane crank and DOHC and probably a ton of time in an anechoic exhaust chamber.   It's about time GM.   I remember the first notions of a mid engine, DOHC Vette in early 80s?  Car & Driver.

But I'm with Gary... rather have a Ferrari.  

And as far as Jay's comment on unions... pffftt.

Thanks!  It's Argento Nurburgring Metallic.

 

That color looks great with the carbon challenge grill, Scud wheels and other stuff that came

with the car.

 

I got a hell of a deal on it last year at the onset of COVID, just before used car prices started to skyrocket.

 

GR

I'm keeping my 2007 F430, that I bought at a five figure cLyDe price.     

 

I prefer a FERRARI, over a Chevy.   :)

1. That is subjective and, newsflash, not everyone has the same opinion as you do.

2. Have you been in one of the new ones?  The Z06 with the interior enhancements?  If so, was it the lack of rubbery buttons that will turn to goo that upset you?  Or was it the lack of leather that will shrink, pull away from its backing and look all wavy that you didn't like? 

3. Um, shouldn't the interior of a Rolls be better by definition?  That IS the main selling feature of that car, no?

Let me know when the interior doesn't look like it was copied out of a rental car fleet vehicle.  

Hell, my 1976 Rolls Royce is more appealing inside.

It really is.  A somewhat close comparison is the F430.  This car has 39% more HP even though it only has 28% more displacement.  It revs at 8600 RPM versus 8500 RPM.  It has a 7 speed dual clutch tranny versus 6 speed.  It has a 0-60 of 2.6s versus 3.6s and an identical top speed.  But the F430 was nearly $190k in 2005 and this will only be around $90k.  In 2021 money, the F430 was over $260k, nearly 3X more.  Even a low mileage used F430 today will cost $130k.

To get a car that you can argue is better performing you have to go up to at least the 458.  But that was $225k in 2010 or $280k in today's money.
