Default New Z06 is everywhere

There are numerous reasons why I like living in Michigan.

One of them is the fact that this is a big car town. We see a lot of new rides on the road first.
Case in point the new Z06.
I'm seeing the new Z06 a lot around my town and every time I do my eyes are glued to it. That is one bad a$$ looking car.

One of the other many reasons is the Northern part of Michigan, which I'm going in about 3 hours from now. Ah yes, the beach, Lake Michigan and Traverse City. See you all next week.

Saw a torch red '06 Z06 with Kentucky dealer plates in Memphis about 2 weeks ago.

Looks AWESOME! (I love the brakes)

I don't live in Michigan. But, I work for General Motors and travel to Mich about once a month.

If I could only speak of the cars/trucks that I have seen.

Nope, still the Z06, the engine code is LS7 (so i guess there is a "7" somewhere).

I want to drive one so bad I can taste it!

only one i've seen is that one at the gm show in carlisle, pa a few weekends ago. it's probably the ultimate Corvette. For now, that is. And surely for me!

Still, at a min of $65K, most likely $70k+ out the door "nicely equipped", that's a huge jump up from the '01-'04 Z06 at a cost of what? 49K? Lotta dough ray me.

I've seen a lot here in BG, they look absolutely amazing, like a supercar, almost exotic now.

One guy in my neighborhood works at the plant and has been driving one home for a while now. Me and a buddy stopped and looked at it yesterday and it's pretty sweet.

One of these days . . . . .

yea you're right it is z06. but i knew i wasnt dreaming up the z07. there's sites out there talking bout it and stuff. seems to be an after market branding for perfomance upgrades. doesnt seemed to be GM licensed stuff.

Just wait until you have to replace the pads. Seems the six piston front and four piston rear have seperate pads on each piston. 20 pads all arounds, I see $$$ in the Chevy parts guys eyes.

My neighbor works at the proving grounds. He says that he sees a lot of the new Z06, however, that's where it stops. He doesn't tell me much more.
I'm waiting for him to drive it home one of these days.

If you want a new ZO6, and you didn't order yet, check this out.

For $30,000 more than sticker price, you can buy this one.
