Default I'LL SEE THE 2006 ZO6 tomorrow morning

My son and I are going to the LA Auto show tomorrow for the first public showing of the C6 ZO6 ( thanks to Forum member Janet Curran) I have read the recent auto magazines but there's nothing like seeing it in person. I'm taking my digital camera and will post pics on the Forum.

JD, I don't think it is going to be in St Louis. Last year they did not even bring a C6 to the show. I was on the C6 Z06 forum & I found a auto show schedule for the new Z06. St Louis was not on the list.

With all the problems the standard C6 is having (recalls; stop builds on MN6 & power top convertible cars) I'm not real sure I'd buy the first year car, especially at $70k. Remember the infamous oil consumption problem with the '01-'02 cars? I'll wait until the hype dies down.

I would guess the price of the Z06 427 would be in the $70,000 range based on the figures of the ZR1. I figure at least $20,000 for the engine on top of the base price of the car. But Motor Trend is predicting $75,000, to $ 85,000. It will be interesting to see GM's final figures. At any rate this car is awesome. There has not been this much excitement about a Corvette performance package since Corvette made available a 4 speed with a fuel injected engine in the same car. Then over 30 years later the ZR1.
GM has really hit a home run with this one. I only wish it would come in a Convertible.
