Just took delivery of an 08 Jetstream Blue Z06. I have owned 7 previous corvettes including a 96 Collectors Edition and an 03 Z06 - this is the best one yet. New to the forum - looking forward to it.

I had a 67 427/435 when I was younger and didn't appreciate what it was until it was gone. I was very fond of the 1996 Collectors Edition - the 330HP LT4 was a great motor and I really liked the C4 style - just an outstanding car. The 2003 Z06 was fast but quirky and I never really warmed up to the C5 style. The new Z06 is simply unbelieveable - outstanding looks, super engineering and scary fast - I can't imagine how it could be better.
