An odd post.
Where do we draw the line between the C6, and the C6 Z06? What would make us at this particular time consider waiting for a Z, if we can order a "Normal" Corvette very soon? We're talking about a year. That is not small potatoes.
Shall we wait...?

Re: An odd post. (Weasel)
You're right. It is an odd post.
Either wait or don't wait. It's not like you have to live with your choice forever. If you buy a C6 right away and then like the Z06 when it comes out....trade it in.
No big deal.

Re: An odd post. (74_LS-4)
GM is promising a more significant difference between the targa / vert C6 vs the C6 Z06 in performance, and in appearance, than that of their C5 counterparts. Could be the Z06 will have a significant increase in price relationship also. If you wait for the Z, and then find that it's too costly, you could then get a Targa / vert with a full production year behind it. This will be a personal call on your part.

I wouldn't buy first year but you can always trade up if you don't want to wait.

Frankly, I won't have the money to buy a C6. However, it's highly possible that I'll have the money to buy a C6 Z06. Soooo, I'll wait.

Unless GM changes the design of the C6 ZO6 roofline, increased horsepower or not I'd choose the C6 coupe. However, I'll probally keep my C5 for a few more years.

Re: An odd post. (Daryl)
My thought is just that, somehow I'm not satisfied with a new Corvette anymore. That is "wrong thinking". I've really got to re-orient myself and return to Earth. And get a new C6.
