Just to let you know as you mentioned Viper that I have a 5000 mile 97 Blue /white GTS in my collection. That is the year Viper became the 2nd American Car to win Le Mans. Met Bob Lutz in the 90's when I was active in the Viper club. He was quite a car person and was responsible for putting the Vette back into the winning circle.
Certainly would like to see Viper sponsorship again as it is a great car.
Thanks regarding the positive response regarding the Z06 order as it will be something to really look forward to in the rather near future.

When did you order? What package? I'm sure you are excited, but that is 1/2 the pleasure of ownership.

that's a lot of car for the money, kind of feel bad for viper SRT
Paid $86K for my 2013 srt viper base with track pack about 8 months ago, which is priced correctly for what you get. I would not have paid the $108k sticker. Asking 120-140+ for GTSs was an epic fail.

The Z represents tremendous value at round the 80 mark. Are prices out on loaded flavors? Hoping that GM is paying attention to the viper marketing/sales collapse. Shame to damage a wonderful product with a marketing flop. Still I got what I wanted at the price that I wanted. Also shame that the Z was nowhere near available a few months ago. Would have loved to have that choice too.

Congrats on ordering a very special sports car. Good thing I do not street race...I might get bored with seeing your tail lights.

No Steve as I do not intend to track the car and will use it not as a daily driver,but an every other day driver. The ZO7 from all info will be a much harder ride. Also had some concerns regarding more extensive splitter hanging up or being damaged by curbs and or road imperfections.

Order mine Friday. It's pretty much the same options but I'm trying the black/blue interior in a Shark Grey car. Also an A8 car without the Z07 package for the same reasons you mentioned in above. Not to mention the poor tire life on Pilot Cups, at $2500 a set.

Not correct. As posted in the Z06 sub forum, and confirmed by my salesman on his computer with me watching on, the first allocations will be during the Sep 18th consensus cycle, which finalizes on the afternoon of Sep 23rd. It also said A8s and verts would be delayed 1-2 months. To me, that says delivery of the first M7 coupes in November, and the first verts and A8s by January.

Nice color combo and equipment profile! I'm excited and believe the wait increases the memories. I will Never forget the longing for my Ferrari Dino way back when, getting lost in Atlanta, running on fumes in the worst part of Atlanta, the 55mph speed limit , the sound of chains inches behind your head.
