That's a common theme with Corvettes: they are almost always slower in real life.
Also as a daily driver the new Z06 will be an impractical overkill, too wide to efficiently thread through traffic, and borderline useless in winter due to extremely wide tires. And it doesn't offer a manual transmission, which means less driver engagement, which ultimately means less fun. So from my admittedly limited perspective the new Z06 is far from "changing the entire industry" as some claim, because for many enthusiasts cars like Cayman 4.0 MT6 and Emira V6 MT6 offer far more compelling and enjoyable daily driver experience.

Why would your warranty be forfeited? The car is a waste unless you are going to track it. Im on the list at 3 different dealers and plan to track mine heavily.
