The Z06 will be one hard car to top. Performance wise it will dust the majority of sports cars that cost much more. Excellent on fuel, can be used as a daily driver, not as much hassle with maintenance and repairs. That's almost unbeatable.

The only caveat is that the new Vettes don't give the driver a sense of road feel as they can be too smooth. Viper owners will probably mention this.

Agreed, a powerfull beast yet civilized enough for a daily driver.

As for the "smooth" factor, I guess it depends on the driver. I would probably appreciate the smooth ride.
