The wife and I priced out our Z06 build. $99,325. Yep, $22,000 in options! The "Jake" center caps for the wheels were $210 alone...

thats exactly what i said. its crazy tight inside and for that alone its not worth it.800-850 horses now your car will be faster than zo6 and a lot more comfortable

Congratulations on your decision--based on factors that are reality rather than emotions. And the mods to your ZL1 will make it all yours!

That is sad. I haven't been in a Vette since my 1994. Which I thought was very comfortable. Took on it several 14hr straight drives without any issue.

I am guessing they have gotten much smaller within the cabin? I am 6ft and right around 210.
