At the risk of life threatening punishment, I just bought a new ZO6 to join my '06 GT. The Z will be mainly for my wife. (It was her idea and who am I to argue!)
While the Z is new this week, a few early differences showed up quickly:
GT feels heavier (in a good way) and better planted. Steering is also heavier, again in a good way. The Vette has a very light steering feel. She likes it, I don't. The GT feels like it has better takoff acceleration, but I've been fairly easy on the Z so far. Z has much better outward sight lines and much easier for street use in traffic. Z's mopre practical in every way. If cars like these can be practical! Quality of materials is in the GT's favor. The Vette is OK, but not "fine". The Vette also has a million little electronic gizmo's and gimmics. Nice, but confusing and most will never be used. The GT's straight forward interior and basic controls allow "driving", rather than a lot of fooling around in the cockpit.
Yet, she'll be using her ZO6 a lot more than I'll get the GT out, so maybe she wins in the end!
As with many of these types of cars, they seem "the same, but different". I'm sure time will show other differences.
Drive on :rofl
