For an alternate perspective, I've been reading some opinions from former C6Z owners turned Boss 302 owners that the Boss is more fun on the street. Seems like the C6Z is too powerful to hook up, and the tall gearing means you can get into trouble before you even get to shift. Given a choice (not considering price or availability), I'd take the C7 over a C6Z anyday.

The c6 was equivalent to the c5z06 so it's not exactly an outlandish choice between the two. I have a hard time passing up the z06 badge on the c6 though. The car exudes bad-assery. I'll take one in black, please.

With the C6 the GS was the sweet spot IMO. We shall see how the C7 turns out...

Thoughts?
I would go with whichever had the better "feel" for driving. Which would require a test drive of each. That's a much more important factor than the looks of each, IMO. So I'd recommend wait until spring, when the C7 has been out for a few months, and check back with Magic 8 Ball.

Just something about a 7L n/a V8 that seems hard to not like, though...

Who doesn't like the sound of a big pushrod V8

i can definitely agree with that, i think a poster here got a Boss and told me the same thing. hell sometimes i feel my base coupe is too much for the street, the shorter z51 gearing still has 2nd redlining at 70mph lawl
