If I get a C6 it will have to be a convertible.

I will be buying the Z06-ZL1 as soon as I see what the C6 looks like and what colors it is coming in.

If I don't like it then I will not buy it. At that point I'll just drop a 427 TTi in to the '01 Z06 I have.

:cheers:

Why did you make the prices so high?
I'll take a C6 Z06 for $50K........tops.
And for 50k, it had better have over 400 to the wheels.
If not, I can just pick up a used C5 Z06, add all the bolt-ons, and blow the new C6 off the road...
for at least $20k less.
I hope the new Z06 has a 427ci motor and offers at least 450/450 to the wheels.
For that, I would pay $50k.

:D I just traded an 01 Z06 in for an 04! I'm probably gonna wait ... (who am I kidding?), for the 2nd year of the C-6 Z06 before purchase!

:chevy We might expect GM to have the same "teething problems", ( as they did with the 01 Z), with the 1st year's C-6 Z06 because of the NEW engine!

My 1995 is just now getting broken in with nearly 100K miles, so it'll be awhile before I buy anything.

I enjoy my 2002. I only paid 39K after incentives. I would have felt ripped off if I had paid anywhere near sticker for it. The quality is just not there. If GM has improved the quality with the C6, then I would might pay $47 for a coupe. I guess I just expect more for $50. If these pics of the c6 are the real deal, from what I can see, its freakin sweet. I just hope the quality is better.
I do like the color, kind of a bloodred.

:cool: :D :flag

Since I enjoy the GM discount, I will not buy a C6 until dealers do GMS. The other problem is mods. It will be a few years before we see mods for the C6. As with the C5, I am certain I will have issues with the C6 stock calibration. GM likes to cut corners and is too conservative IMO.

I'll buy each as they become available. However, if the ZL1 is pushing over 100k, I'm going exotic.
