Why was there even someone talking in this video? I wanted to hear more of that LS7 singing.

IMO the best exhaust note on the market.

Nothing of value to add to this thread. It'll depreciate on it's on. Like an anchor, to the bottom of the lake.

Kinda like those $95K 997S's that can be had now for $50K, or the $140K 997tt that are selling for $75K and the $125k 996tt that are selling for $45k.

Why the hate on the Z06? It's a bona fide performance monster. Sure, it could do with some snazzier interior materials, but if you're an enthusiast, you very well might do that anyway, and for a couple of grand in parts, it's an absolute beast.
