2006 Corvette Z06

[Mean250r]

Does any one have one? Me and my dad went to price them and people are paying 90,000 + for a 70,000 car. I have not seen them on the road at all. If anyone has one, lets see it!

[400exrida06]

Theres some driving around here my dad is thinking about buying one but hes not to sure yet because he still loves his 1978 do we'l see what happens

[LTZ400rider]

427, over 500 hp, titanium valves, rods etc, killed the viper for sure

[Rico400]

right now im going to say i dont know much about vets.

But my buddy has not this years vet, but last year. and this fing sweet. i would love to have one some day, but for now ill stick to my truck though.

Its like a jet, acceleration just throws you in the back of your seat.. I would do anything except pay for one... :devil:

[Guy400]

A friend of ours pulled out of a bank in his C5 ZO6 and a guy ran a redlight and T-boned him totaling the car. The scrapyard gave him $18k for the car and the insurance company gave him $28k more. He went straight down to the Chevy dealership and ordered a 2006 ZO6. He got it in Velocity Yellow. It comes off the assembly line June 12 and he should take delivery a few weeks after.

so If I wreck my 2002 GMC I wonder If I can get a Z06... hmmm..

[JForestZ34]

A freind of mine works at a chevy dealer here in Jersey. He told me that they are not letting the new Z06's off the lot for anything less than $20k over sticker price. He also told me that they are not going to have them sitting on the lot you have to order it and it would take any time up to a year to get delivery.

my old boss got one about a month ago. havent seen it up close but its some special red/wine color with tan drop top. i dont care for cars, whatever floats your boat i guess. our little town ford dealer is getting 3 roush mustangs. 10,000 non-refundable deposit is required to order one. now i could go for that kind of car for sure!!

[400exrider99]

if i could afford it i buy one in a heart beat viper killer and only slightly under the preformance of the ford gt but $40,000-$50,000 cheaper. when i was at the chicago auto show i sat in one and didnt want to get out. such a sweet car

[G Impala 63n70]

Ive been through every nut and bolt on them already, well they were totalled of course, i work at cleveland-pick-apart, the worlds best salvage yard and we dont deal with anything but the newest stuff, those z06's sure like to flip over alot ;)

If it's a convertible it's not a ZO6, they only come hardtop.

[Tommy 17]

i stand on a highway all day (i work for penndot) and so far i've seen 3 on car haulers and 1 drive by... def z06s because they all had scoops on the hood and air intakes for the brakes...

[MOFO]

I've seen 2 new Z06's around Pittsburgh already... VERY,VERY nice! :devil:

Since this is a new 'vette thread... any word on "Blue Demon"?

Tommy, what roads are you standing on? I gotta ask, just in case... :p

[Mxjunkie]

Theres a bunch around here, The one I love the most is theres a Yellow one running around here with the black wheels with the chrome outer lip ahh its soo sick..

I shall own one some day :devil:

[crday98]

i actually handle hundreds of Z06 frames every day at work. fresh from the extrusion.:cool:

RT 219 between the rt 422 and rt 22 exits... its right outside of ebensburg...

i'm actually saving all my money for my down payment on a vette

[Iliketogofast]

I haven't seen any ZO6's here, but I saw a regular 'Vette get eaten alive by an RX-7 a couple days ago. :D It was pretty cool cause the Vette guy kept reving up and stuff and the RX-7 just sat there until the light turned. It was the coolest race I ever saw :D

Anyway, those Z06 'Vettes are awfully exotic for just $75,000. I was looking at the specs - 0-60 in under 4 seconds, sub 11 second q-mile, carbon fiber this, titanium that.... Sodium coated exhaust ports? What the hell is that for? It sounds a lot like the spec sheet from a Saleen S7 to me!

[kawasaki_ridah]

My dad has a black one on order. he plans on re doing the inturnels to put a procharger on it :devil: can anyone say 700hp??

[bluebaron]

any body see that car & driver shootout a while ago. A zo6 with insane HP, the thing could smoke the tires at 120 mph!!!!

[sixer3]

i saw the the car & driver, z06/viper/ford gt race with the gt barely on top

my girlfriend's dad has a stage 3( i believe 3) old school buick gsk ( soo sweeeet) and a 2000 or 2001 z06, supposedly they didnt use a transmission built for the ls7 back then, so its had to have it rebuilt once already...not sure what they're doin now.....but he has over 100grand in the gsx its sooo awesome....i guess they're very rare

[G Impala 63n70]

Id like to hear about the "blue demon"

[LTZ400rider]

Reports say that blue demon is still on.

But, it has been re-named, it was called the blue demon because the chief enginner is a Duke University graduate.

It is now called the Corvettte SS, and will push out close to 700 HP.

You will also have to go through a safety course before you are allowed to make a payment on the car, A mandatory safety course must be taken for anybody purchasing the car, just because GM doesnt wanna get sued by someone saying this car is to powerful for the general public to drive, and so you do not get morons behind a car with that much capability.

Look for a price tag of well into 100k mark.

I've been in the Corvette Club of America for 15 years and been to Bowling Green, Kentucky ( Corvette Plant) about 6 times, and I know some guys who are pretty up there and this is what their telling me. Cannot say if it is true or not, but like I said, these guys were the ones that told me about the zo6 before anyone had any idea about it. And they were right on.

And about the ZO6, I picked one up in September, I got it for a great deal at the time. I still payed over sticker for it, but at the time I got it people were throwing deposits down that were well into the 80's some low 90's.

It was tough to see my 67 go, But I good a good deal on it! I knew after I sold my 67 exactly what I wanted so it was not tough.


Here are some pictures from pick up day.

It is worth as much as someone will pay for it.

Honestly, the muscle car market has gotten so out of control, due to stuff like Barrett Jackson, Meccum Auctions, etc.

That you really can not put a set price on anything, The 67 big block vettes are going crazy right now.

I was expecting to get 75k for mine tops, and lets just say I got a bit more than expected!

[Mean250r]

yeh me and him jus came home from a car show, and got the biggest trophy for best in show, there was well over 200 cars there two. I think it was do to this :eek2: :devil:

[FHKracingZ]

Ya the New Z06's are sweet. We have a 2003 Z06 and its awsome. We sold our 66 427/390 roadster for 57,000 to corvette central and they resold it for 74,000 2 weeks later... They really are amazing cars.

[KWAD GAWD]

They are sick, the newest one I've rode in was a 2001. My buddy's dad has a 2004, I sat in it but didn't get the chance do ride aboard. The Z06 is tiny, they keep getting smaller every year!

[dober250R]

corvette's are over rated:macho

What was the last Corvette you drove or owned?
Back up you statement....

[Dale512]

The new Corvette won't be called the Blue Devil or SS...it's gonna be called Corvette Stingray. It's going to have 625HP and it's running a Supercharged 7.0-Liter LS7. It's supposed to be even lighter than the Z06 also with an MSRP right around $100,000.

[dober250R]

I just don't like the overall feel of a corvette. I've driven plenty, from an 85 to a 2003. I just don't like the dashboard being at my eye level, and i'm not short. I'm 6 foot 2. It's just a preference thing. I just said that to get someone all wryled up, and it obviously worked:devil: :macho

[dober250R]

corvette's do run like a sum ***** though!! I tip my hat the the kind of power they can put the ground.

I'm 5'9" and I don't have any problem with the dashboard....you must be a very short 6' 2":blah:

Dunno to each his own I guess, but thats how most performance cars are, I think alot of it has to do with the long nose making the dash seem so high.

Yea, I can tell you said it just to get everyone wryled up.

Because there is nothing overrated about the Corvette, if anything it is underrated.

You cant get any car like the ZO6, for the price of the ZO6.

if its like you describe it could be worth quite a bit, even more if its a numbers matching, original paint/interior car.

yeh its all matching, has the original paint on it from 68 and theres not a scratch on it. I know its hard to believe but its true. everything from bumper to bumper is stock and restored to stock. it sure is fast to lol
