Bastet and I were on our way to work yesterday morn... and what do we see?? a brand new Z06, drk blue. SWEET. The headlights and street lights play interesting tricks on those fenders. Oh, and half the back end is tire. damn. It also looks VERY stiffly sprung.
Oh, forgot, broke 30k posts, too.

This Is about as close as I got to pre-prod one at the All-GM show in Carlisle (I wish I could figure out how to shrink my photobucket pics...)

I ran into a black one at the dealership two weeks ago waiting on customer delivery. It sold for $91k! Its dealer markup sticker noted $20,000 as dealer administrative fees.
It was absolutely beautiful, and I'm sure the guy picking it up that day was a happy dude!!

Congrats !!!
Yeah that motor is the stuff, best platform yet, I have been looking over the specs. it's just too cool. I had the oppotunity to drive one for a few minutes, and even though I re-did mine, and it is reasonable now, the best words I have to describe the new z is; 'SCARRY FAST' I know what they say the numbers are but I would bet that is a very conservative production estimate.
I can't even imagine the one Lutz commented on awhile back, limited production race available version for next year??? It's a whole horsepower /performance war ......I never thought that I would ever see that happen again.....

Damn that blue is nice. I haven't seen any in that color yet. I talked to a new Viper owner, he had nothing but trash talk about the new Z. He also claims to be a former Vette owner.
I think he's just yet to run into one and have his ego shattered.

If he had, he would not talk trash about it.
Are we still doing lunch on Wed? I think Bastet can join us.
