Besides, the last generation of Corvettes had great ride quality. I don't see why this would be any different.
Two different vehicles looking to attract different customers. They are alike in general HP and performance specs. The vette will be the better car no doubt however having a 4 door with over 700hp and a factory warranty is very appealing (It's also at least ~$15-$17k cheaper). I would expect both cars to make the right amount of noise. The C5/6/7 all have very good ride quality IMO but the Z07 option is going to be a firm, track focused suspension.

I was only window shopping both since my current vehicle configuration would just about force me to get a new daily if we selected a vette (total of 5 cars for 2 people lol). The Charger would be a direct replacement for my G8 since my commute to work is only about 10 miles so fuel mileage isn't a major concern. All pie in the sky ideas at the moment considering I wouldn't jump on either within the year since I'm sure dealers will gouge the crap out of both cars.
