Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?

[Zedder]

I spent hours at Corvettes @ Carlisle this year pouring over the Z06 and it is much better looking in person than it is in the pics. I love the car in Silver or Black and plan on getting one just as soon as the feeding frenzy is done. I will likely have to get one that is lightly used due to the differential in pricing in Canada (about $15,000 more than in the US for the same car!), so you guys who are getting them...take good care and give me a shout in 6 months if you get bored with it (the car has to be 6 months old for me to import it into Canada).

I also heard the car run down in Carlisle and it sounds wicked once the baffles open up. I met Will Cooksey, the Corvette Plant Manager, in the parking lot of the hotel and he gave me a quick intro to the Z06 he was driving

And yes, Velocity Yellow is more "pale" than Millenium Yellow but I like it better...

I too saw it at Corvettes @ Carlisle this year. Wonderful car. I didn't get to hear the open baffles, but I can imagine how sweet it sounded

Here is the picture of the Z06 take at Carlisle.

Here is a picture of the engine.

My favorite was the body-off... I only got one picture because of all the people around it...

If anybody wants a zoom in of any part of this picture, just ask... the original is pretty high res.

Great picture and I would agree...the car probably looks much better in person than in the pictures I've seen.

Still not sold on Velocity Yellow though...

I will agree that the C6 Corvette isn't for everbody. Personally, I like it.

I remember when the C5 came out... I didn't like it at all... thought it looked like a Fat Bottomed Girl... but then I grew to like it a lot, until we finally bought an '01 in '00. We'll probably end up getting a C6 as well, but this time around it will be used... don't think I'll ever buy another brand-new car, the hit just isn't worth it to me.
