Well, it looks like what everybody's been pining for.

ZO6 body work, ZO6 brakes, dry sump LS3, diff cooler, rear mounted battery, "revised" suspension



NOW, you rich guys go buy some so GM doesnt go bankrupt!

A dry-sump and vert don't mix well.

None the less go buy some!!!

Sounds like good news.

it comes in a coupe too!!!

damn, I'm not rich, but the dry sump is cool

Z06Fix

Seems like a good idea, but man that is inching so close to the Z06 it's not even funny. It's getting to the point that I can see them dropping the Z06 line and just having Base, Grand Sport, and the ZR1.

Those wheels look a "Ferrari-ish".....restyled fender vents are???......Hopefully GM has a good surprise comming with the 2010 ZO6.

Lawdogg

Don't care for the shark gills or the wheels. I hope they do kill off the Z06. Maybe the resale value would stop dropping so fast.

Z06_BluByU

I fear the same.. I read someplace the LS7 is more expensive to produce than the LS9.. maybe this is the way to kill it off..

hope not.. I really want one!

C6400hp

This could be a real contender in SCCA SS class. With all of the improvements in suspension tuning and more appropriate for AX gearing, it could be a winner.

NemesisC5

I think this is a way to make the wide body &/or vert option available to those who want auto trannies....there have been many all along that have expressed this on their wish list. Hopefully this will push more performance fron the Z....I'll be waiting to see the 2010 Z specs.

Needs a center stripe to complete "the look".

Some people, not me, would prefer the paddle shifter

I wonder if this means the T1 guys can run this dry sump. And if it will help some with their oiling problems.

PushinTheLimit

This should make all the T1 guys running the LS3 VERY happy to hear. If it comes in a production model... then my understanding is any C6 vette can now run the dry sump in their cars. If that's incorrect, someone please correct me.

I like the car, no way I can afford that car to run in W2W... but maybe in a few years I could pickup something like this used.

Z06Fix

I do wonder if it's get the Z51 gearing in the trans? That really would make a SS monster

froggy47

Why?

Needs a big stripe down the middle if it's a tribute.

acrace

C5 Z06/C6 Z51 transmission gearing.

C6 Z06 sized wheels.

Now only if the curb weight was lower (saw it listed as 3316 somewhere), it would be an excellent SS contender. I doubt that the new fenders on the C6 GS are carbon fiber, and I doubt that the floorpan uses carbon fiber.

AUTO_X_AL

I would venture to guess that this will employ the new style paddle shifters found on the Camaro. The config will be Right=upshift and left=downshift.

Al, I didn't have your email or you would have been in my mass email this morning.

Still happy to see this come along in these times. It basically looks like a less expensive, less powerful Z06. Looks like a winner to me.
