Simply not a vette fan...still think its a pretty numb car especially when you take it out of isolation.

I feel bad for the z06, its been taking a flat out beating by the Viper TA...doesnt seem like chevy moved much on from the zr1 which itself wasn't a great car. And if Porsche comes out with a 991 GT2/RS its going to flat out crush the z06 as even the 997 GT2 RS looks like it would be able to beat the current z06 despite being quite old.
Again, we can agree to disagree

The C7 is a scalpel compared to the M3/4... and to call it "numb" compared to a 991s is, well, not true and I don't think anyone who has spent time in both cars would say that. They may say they prefer the 991s from a feel perspective but the C7 is FAR from numb in comparison.

Bottom line, however, is it doesn't matter what I think as I know you have a negative bias to the Corvette... which is perfectly OK too.

P.S. Not sure where you are getting a TA "flat out beating" the Z06 (well maybe in a straight line but who cares about that anyway). If a GT2/RS beats the Z06 for twice the money, that's OK in my books... they will be pretty darn close in performance
