Corvette C6? or wait for Z06???

Z06 for sure, it just has so much more to it then 500 HP.

 

Patrick,

What does your heart say? Mine would be saying Z06............

(Former vette owner '87 4+3 z51 )

 

Z06 FOR SURE !!!

You would not be happy the day you see a Z06.


I would wait a few years after the into of the Z06.


Chevy has historically bumped a new Corvette models output, a year after into. They also did this with the 03 Z06. + you will get a much better deal. You can forget getting a "deal" on a new Z06.


Also: With the Z06 it is more than just a big engine. Look at the list of Z06 hardware.

 

I'm surprised too that all votes went z06.

 

ZO6 AND BORLA RACING EXHAUSTS IN 2007, IF YOU WANT AN UPGRADE THEN, ILL CALL REEVES CALLOWAY MYSELF FOR YA!!

WAIT..

SINCERELY

i don't know how you feel about your privacy, or if will ever happen to you, but OnStar has the ability to listen in on you, even if you haven't touched the damn thing.........personally i don't like the idea that someone can listen to me in my car at any given time.....just my $0.02 about that.....
now....

Z06 all day, everyday!!!!!!.......and mod that

 

Hehe, I really dont see a problem with Onstar, if you ever found out about it (in which it would actually affect you) you could sue GM for tons. And if you didnt find out about it, it would never hurt you.

 

I voted Z06 - from what I've read, it may just be the best bang for the buck on the planet. Not that it's inexpensive - but, the performance numbers speak loudly and clearly ....

 

Z06!

This is the first Corvette I've ever been interested in. If I still feel that way after I see and drive one, it might end up becoming my first American car (I'll wait til the second model year though).

 

Your instincts would be correct.
Number 1 is Kerbecks Chevrolet (http://www.kerbeck.com/) and Number 2 is Les Stanford (http://www.corvettesbyrickdaniel.com/).

Maybe the salesman forgot to add, "I sell the most 'Vettes in the U.S....in my dreams?"

Have you only test driven an automatic? The one thing that keeps preventing me from stepping into a C6 is the shifter - feels really clumsy, awkward, and requires too much force. Compared to my friend's S2000 and a (admittedly brief) drive in a 997S, the 'Vette's shifter is really poor. I have an auto C5 and had been hoping that GM would have fixed the manual in the C6, but so far my prayers go unanswered...http://ferrarichat.com/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif
Unhappy

 

C6 depreciation will be brutal, not worth it for a short time...Z shoud be out soon i think...

 

On the choice of color...I would say definitely black. I have seen a C6 in that color and it looked great, however black is very hard to keep clean, so I'd keep that in mind as well. Yellow is too flashy IMO, I'd go with the black even though it can be a pain to keep clean.

 

Neither? I'm already sick of the C6.

 

I totally see where you're coming from. There are SOOO many running around in our town that the novelty has expired. I'm now excited about the Z version. I hope they don't over produce that one. Every kid in highschool will start buying them if that's the case. (Nothing wrong with kids buying them... just that it starts to desensitize the experience/feeling of when one is seen on the road) my opinion...

 

Riding my bike earlier this morning and saw three Black C6 corvettes. Looked slick, pulled into the coin operated car wash. Looked nice, went by pretty fast so I didnt get the best look at them

 

Defently Z06!

 

EZ Choice : Z06. It is Head & Shoulders the Superior Machine !!!

Definitely Black. The New Velocity Yellow is much Brighter than the Millenium Yellow.

Here are some Pics from the L.A. Auto Show.

I don't know how rich y'all are, but I'd find it hard to justify another $25,000. for the Z06.
Of course, if I made Bill Gates look like a bum, I guess I'd spend the $75k at the drop of a hat.

 

I don't know if you have money to burn, but the differences between the two base prices is over $30,000. By the time you get the Z06 out the door it will cost you more than $80,000.

Everyone can sit and tell you that the Z06 is superior, but the bottom line is do you want to spend that much on a Corvette. For most Corvette owners the price tag on the Z06 blows the roof off of their consumer market. Remember tha the Corvette has always been a working man's performance car.

Once you move into this price range you are now competing with the likes C2/C4 Carrera's, SRT-10 Vipers, Maserati's, Mercedes CLK 55, Jag XKR's and BMW 645's (to name a few).

I would think twice before spending $80,000 for a Corvette that isn't tuned through the roof. JMO.
