Would You Buy a C8 Stingray or a C7 Z06 and Save $32k?

C8 Stingray is an amazing performance bargain, but the C7 Z06 offers more brute power at a discount.

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is the most powerful “base” Corvette ever. The mid-engine layout allows the available power to make the C8 Stingray the quickest ‘Vette from 0 to 60, while also affording it incredible handling capabilities. All of the features of the 2020 Stingray have made it incredibly popular with buyers, but “Steven R Strickland” has an interesting opportunity. He can buy a C8 Stingray 3LT, or for $32,000 less, he can buy a new 2019 Z06. Unsure of which way to go with his purchase, the OP turned to the community for their input.

C8 Stingray or C7 Z06 Introduction

When the OP first posted his question to the forum, he shared the image above with a pair of C8s with the dilemma outlined below.

I got a choice to make between a 2020 c8 3LT with 300 miles or a 19 z06 with 175 miles at $30,000 less. Is the c8 worth it over the z06.

The OP never states exactly how much each car costs, but he did clarify later in the thread that the C7 is $32,000 less than the C8. A 3LT C8 starts right around $72,000 or $77,000 with the Z51 package. The C7 Z06 has an MSRP starting around $80,000, but even if the C8 is loaded with features, the Z06 would have to be deeply discounted to be $32,000 less.

One of the first people to reply was “Walter Sobchak”, who didn’t answer the question. Instead, he told the OP to ask himself some questions.

Depends what your plans are. Keep it long term vs track it and worry about resale etc. I had the same decision last year and the C8 was worth it for me. Much better interior etc. Now only you can ask what is worth for the mission you want it for.

Some other members asked for specific pricing and more details, but the meat of the discussion is members leaning one way or the other…
