Can we confirm now 100% that M7 C7 Z06 has no Gas Guzzler Tax & do those guys whose Z06s that have arrived this week now have invoices for those cars (I hope)?

I have an invoice, I have my ZO6 and there is no GG on the M7.
And the car is so much better that you can imagine ...

No gas guzzler tax on mine either. Can't show a picture of the car yet, have to fly to Kentucky. Hmmm, perhaps I should start a thread on longest drive from doing a museum pickup. I'm scoring 2350 miles to California.

Does the A8 have the GG tax? If so can someone more knowledgeable than me on the subject help explain why that is the case? With my limited understanding it would seem to me that the auto should be capable of being more economical than the manual if the computer is in charge of shifting...

Official economy numbers are now available:

http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2015...-released.html

What I want to know is how they managed to get the same highway mileage out of a Z06 as the Stingray? Also, how can the auto be 6 MPG worse on the highway?

Edit: never mind, it appears Edmunds has no idea what they are talking about.

So given that, does anyone have a window sticker from the EPA? Is GM even allowed to sell a car without EPA fuel economy posted?

The Edmunds info is incorrect. Has been posted before.

I have the invoice, no car yet, I just looked at it, Could you tell me if the 3LZ has
ventilated or cooled seats, Originally I read cooled, my invoice says Ventilated.
Please advise.
Also it does not have GGT, my total was $93615.00 without tax.
