There's a C6 Z06 craze going on right now. Most dealers are asking 5-10K OVER sticker and apparantly getting it. PT Barnum said it best and stealerships take advantage.

Doubt that any local dealer will get a Z06 in. Just don't do that much in Vette sales.

I saw a red C6 Z06 a couple days ago with the wrapper still on most of it in the back of a stealership - I was test driving a HHR for a winter beater... since I pulled up in my monster, he wanted to show me theirs

it was pretty sweet, I think C6 owners are going to be pissed... us C5 guys didn't care cause they all looked the same

That's probably because they auctioned the damn thing off, and don't want to give the new buyer the "SUCKER" reputation there in your town.

I've seen two new Z06's and both had factory sticker prices of $69,000+. I also had the opportunity to ride in one of them. While it was fast, I think I'm going to keep my C5 and do a few more minor engine mods.

I know that I will never be able to buy one brand new, but when I grow up...33 now, I hope to be able to afford, probably after my 10 month old is through college!
