******** Correction ********
If you can get a killer deal on an '07 Z06, it would be dumb not to do it.

Dealer's are ready, willing, and able to deal!

If your getting a Z51 or C6, wait!

Buy the '08, Chevy needs more road testers for the new motor, transmission and electronics.

You should be able to get one for 5K ~ 7K off MSRP.

Sounds like you are using the wrong purchase approach. Get the best price on the car, THEN explore financing, starting with your bank or credit union. Negotiate the car price with the dealer, not the financing. If you want a Z06, there is not a great deal of difference from 07 to 08, so go for the best price assuming you will keep the car for several years. If you want a base engine, the 08 will have 30 or 36 more horses than the 07.

I'm told that discounts are already being offered on the '08. Most dealers will not make you an attractive enough deal on an '07 to offset the fact that you are getting a one year older car. Make your deal for an '08 with a forum dealer and take NCM delivery...you'll be happier in the long run

$7,000 off the sticker buys a good H/C or supercharger installed.
