Correct, every new generation surpasses the outgoing generation, with the exception of the C6 which I am told is a lateral move from the C5. ?

However, there are good reasons to take the C6Z over the C8Z.
1. Price point
2. 7.0 liters
3. Forged LS9 (ZR1)
4. Extensive aftermarket
5. Can be easily tuned
6. Looks better *subjective*

1. Your comparing a used car to a new one.
2. That’s irrelevant. 505 hp vs 600+ hp flat plane crank.
3. C8 is going to have a ZR1 and hybrid version.
4/5. The aftermarket will catch up. Stock for stock the C6 Z is going to need thousands of dollars to keep up.

In conclusion, as much as I like the C6 Z, you’re living in the past.

2023 Chevy Corvette Z06: 670 HP From a Naturally Aspirated, Flat Plane V8

Oh, and it revs to 8,600 rpm. Goodness.

god DAMN

the 5.5-liter, naturally aspirated, flat-plane crank DOHC V8 in this car makes 670 horsepower at 8,400 rpm, 20 more than the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in the previous Z06. As we reported before, it revs all the way to 8,600 rpm, making 460 pound-feet of torque as it whisks by 6,300 rpm.

The pistons are forged aluminum, the rods are forged titanium, and the crank is a short-stroke flat-plane unit that must be forged—likely forged steel, although that's not explicitly stated.

To help maintain grip and put the power down, the tires are larger at every corner—345mm wide in the back and 275mm wide in the front—and they can be wrapped around optional carbon fiber wheels. Regular aluminum ones are still available, though the carbon fiber units save 41 pounds of weight overall, or around ten pounds per corner.
