Z06 Tigershark Update
Hello,
I don't usually post out side the ZR1 Forum but I though you all would find this interesting:
Hello,
I met one of my good friends last night and he just arrived from Kentucky with a bunch of news after personally seeing the 2006 ZO6 Tiger shark and speaking to an engineer. The Plant will be closed for retooling. This is what he saw:
1) Seats are race inspired with 5 point seatbelt slots.
2) 21' rims on Front and 22' rims in Rear.
3) Michelin tires - no more Goodyear's
4) Car rear bumper is Convex verse Concave
5) Car was tested at the Nuremberg (Not sure of the spelling) Track in Germany - Car exceeded 225 mph. This will be the fastest production car in the world as stated by an engineer that he spoke to.
6) 6.3 liter
7) Z06 Tiger Shark will have at least 550 hp but will have the potential to have excess of over 800 with little modification, no need to go into the internals to produce the additional hp.
8) Price - $68,500
9) Production Numbers 1000 the first year and is projected to increase by 500 based on sales for the next 3 years. First year will be the least made.
10) Speculated but not confirmed a 3 year run.
11) Z06 Tiger shark is CAM CAR design inspired i.e. Wheel wells flared, front and rear.
12)if you request a Museum delivery option it is free only for the ZO6 Tiger Shark.

I agree on the price...for what they're offering that seems WAY too low. The specs on that are significantly better, than say a viper, and a viper is $12k more. I'd say to get similar performance out of another car you'd have to pay at least 150k, if not 200 or more.
