You're completely wrong. The ZO6 and ZR1 are actually horrible daily drivers. I've test driven a Z06. Because of the light composite materials they use for those cars, they are very uncomfortable on regular roads and you get massive amount of rattle on regular roads. If you go over a small bump in a ZR1 you will feel like you ran over a 5 foot pot hole lol. The Z06 and ZR1 are actually track cars. Ideally, they are meant for smooth roads, and a straight line. That's why some people don't like them.

On the other hand, if you have $100K porche, benz and BMW you get performance AND comfortable ride, as they have better suspensions and are built better. It is cliche, but German engineering for cars is light years ahead of Ford and Chevy.

Don't ever tell a car guy that you think a ZR1 is a "great, comfortable daily driver." They'll look at you like strange and think you are a moron lol.

A previous poster correctly noted that these vettes are meant to go very fast, in a straight line. He is spot on (though both vettes will do well on a smooth track).

And finally, you say the Vette is not about the "look" but the "ride" lol? Dude, it is the loudest "look at me" car produced lol.
