If you're in the market for a used C6, might want to wait until the end of the year. The market is probably going to be flooded.

looks like they got the starting point just perfect to me. Fully optioned out is pretty pricey though. All i need is comp package and comp seats

Yeah, it still comes in cheaper than a fully loaded C6 GS though. They kind of combined the base and GS model into one with the C7.

That Z51 package is a must have option and quite a bargain at $2,800.

I like this body style SO much. The interior is "meh" but that body is so nice. To me it has just the right amount of "supercar" and "muscle" look. For the price I might really consider buying one of these.

MRC is also a must have option. Z51+MRC= comfortable ride on the road and awesome performance on the track.

This really is a great deal, I'm thinking of picking up a C6 Z06 next year.

The lead test driver said he's significantly faster in the C7 Z51 around VIR than the C6 GrandSport, even with 100+lb of equipment.

[WreckerX5d]

A 7speed manual is going to feel weird at first. I have always liked the stingrays.

Well that's a given. Even the $38,000 Camaro SS 1LE is faster than an M3 (or any other M car) on the track.

[blutattoo]

I wonder if the worldwide press will give it any love. Even fully loaded it's less than a Cayman S or 911 which I'm sure is the target. Chevy is on a roll for sure. Can't wait for the Z28 either.

The Z/28 should widen the gap. GM stated it was 3 seconds faster than the ZL1 during testing.

[Year's_End]

I'm anxious to hear about the Z06's specs and pricing.

Me too, but it'll be a while. The convertible is the next Vette that Chevy has to bring to market.

I hope it's faster at the track. I took one out on the streets this weekend by a decent amount. Was a little upset about it considering I figured it would have been more of a challenge for my 135i. >.<

Rumors are a 7.0L version of the LT1 with 600hp.
