I think the ERay is pretty cool. And in my opinion, hybrids are a far, far, far better option than full EV's.

The E-Ray will be great. The LT2 is a great engine and with the electric motors, it's more than most folks need anyway. The only "downside" I see to the E-Ray would be the carbon ceramic brakes. For a car that they want driven in the winter, CCBs aren't the most driver friendly choice. They do not want to work until they get warm so you have to make sure to brake early when they're cold. |

They may have missed the boat by not going plug-in hybrid. They could have easily made this car go up to 10 miles on just the electric plug-in charge. Think about it: assuming you have a short commute, you drive your E-Ray to the office and use no gas. When you want to have a blast, have a blast.

Any C8 aficionados on here?
Debating on summer tires vs the standard all season tire. $500 upcharge for summer only. Slightly better grip (about 10% on the skid pad). Consensus on the Corvette forum is there are no other changes to the suspension when ordering ZER suspension package. But, I trust the guys on this forum more than that one. No chance I will drive it in ice or snow.

If you plan on driving it in cold temps, don't get ZER. Those tires don't like cold temps at all. They don't grip very well and they can crack when cold. The ZER tires will likely wear worse than the all seasons too. $500 isn't much if you're just gonna use it on nice or warmer days though. |

According to some of the guys posting in this thread, the RPO code difference is ONLY the tires.
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-worth-it.html Where would someone get a definitive answer?

Decided on the E-Ray, so no gas guzzler tax. Figured the Z06 would take more "commitment" to drive than the E-Ray. Not many places around here I can take advantage of the 8600 rpm redline.
