What about the z06 has to do with a sqircle?

Same pattern from the promo video. Wonder what it's about?

We both thought it'd be in the mid 80's due to the plethora of technology and upgraded goods that seemed destined to be on the car. Lo and behold, GM came out with a very inexpensive (relatively speaking) base unit and bought into the Porsche routine of allowing for copious, and expensive, options. Most people landed cars that cost them well over the mid 80's when delivered. What makes anyone think that this success story will be changed? Bring out the Z06 under 90k and let her rip with options!
I could see this. Maybe high $80K low $90K range for a stripper car and up to $130-140K or so with a loaded one offering HTC. I would expect most early buyers would option up to a $100-110K or so car if you want one with tech and creature comforts. But the car is still almost a year away and inflation and supply issues keep creeping up so GM may take that into account and price it higher than expected. Let's be honest most people willing to spend $87-90K on a Z06 will likely pony up another $10K or so. Especially the first couple years. GM knows this.

I’ll tell you who is going to have a big day. Ciocca… they haven’t started a wait list for z06. Even if they add a markup, those phone lines and e-mail boxes are going to be crazy busy.

I should go ahead and tell my boss to not expect much from me on that day. I'm sure to be on the phone hammering the redial button all day.

Default will it be recorded

As luck would have it I will be working and unable to watch the live reveal. Do we think they will record it and make it available for viewing after the live event?

It’s on YouTube and YouTube livestreams can always be watched later. So you’ll be fine.

Expecting crappy weather in LA on Monday. Hopefully it clears out Monday night.

People in LA do not know how to drive in the rain.
