Well I just got sick and tired of my C8 as a street driver. That low red line OHV 6500 rpm engine just shouldn’t be in a so called exotic sports car. You hold a gear and even with the Z51 exhaust the engine in track mode is just quite. No engine noise at all. Only in WOT does the sound enter the cabin. No manual either. Traded last year for a manual mach 1. Much more visceral experience from the sound and manual trans. In order to get a higher red line and a good amount of sound you need the Z06. But that will cost you over $125K and the wait is forever. Ive been on a wait list at Ciocca since November 2021. #385 and probably going to pass because I’m sure another price increase is coming. Sorry Chevy but all the hype on the C8 Z51 hasn’t lived up to a satisfying sports car. I got over $12K back over what I paid for the C8 so it didn’t break my bank account. But today that would not have happened and with over 100,000 on the road and they are everywhere. Mach 1. VS C8 Z51. Hands down the mach 1 is much more fun on the street. $25K less money also.
