The one I've been waiting for. That is a seriously bulged out fender. Can't wait to see what the back end will look like.

Looks like they're going to have all the Z07 bits standard.

Please let it be NA 7.0L and targa.

My money is on keeping it a targa and offering it as a vert, but I think you're SOL on the NA 7.0... It's going to be the blown 6.2 LT4 we saw back when Keeks leaked those CAD files.

I could never afford a new Z06 so i'm not worried I went C7 Z51, however, I do hope my big brother f**K's up ever car brand on this green earth, when it comes to the track. GM, show the world who makes the best supercar!

GO GET'M GM!

BTW, we all clearly heard Mark Reuss state in a video just a few months ago that there had been "no discussion of a Z06".

I guess the GM execs do bluff.

I'm all in, been waiting..Awesome. Wording in the press release said that the Z06 completes the perfomance vehicle lineup. So does that mean no ZR1? I am so happy they are still calling it a Z06.

They're like politicians... He's not going to talk about the hi-po model during the launch of the base model.

Only one hi-po model for now. Z06 with supercharged LT4. Later in life-cyle TT L88 supercar.

I know some want the car to be NA but the idea of a FI Vette that lets you tack on 100 extra horses if you get bored with the 600-ish without having to crack open the engine one bit doesn't hold its own intrigue? How much of that 7.0 desire is just nostalgia?

So glad they retained the iconic Z06 designation and did not call it the "Z07"- that would have been epically stupid. Like changing to the Porsche 912 Turbo.

Also time to eat crow all you "it's a wide body already" and "it won't have flared fenders or wider tires" prognosticators.

No way Chevy would have tried to sell a narrow body base model as a Z06.

Looks like it's got the wide body that so many are clamoring for.
