That backward thinking started to lose credibility with the C5, and was definitely out of touch with the new C6 not to mention the C6 Z06. Get with the times.

The corvette z06 aka the Ferrari killer.

And I see a misunderstanding of the defference in the flavor of the American sports car vs. European & Asian models, here. As a former Vette owner (94zo7) and current stroked Cobra owner, I am much more interested in the Aluminum frame, Tunnel Box Frame, weight, and Trans-axle of the C6 than the motor. Horsepower can be created relatively easily with the vette motor through injector/throttlebody/intake sizing/fuel pump voltage/air metering/programming. The chasis setup of the C6 is worth far more than the HP. I would go as far as saying the C6 without the motor is worth the price to me @sticker. If I fail to aquire the C6 new, I do plan to get one used. As to the StingRay, what else is adjusted outside of the Supercharger, will determine if the price tag warrants it. A 2900 pound street sports cars is hard to come by, but adding that much torque to the car (what u get with SC) may render much of the power unreachable in manuvers. As an american v8 tuner, and a vette-head, this looks like a short-lived car with just carbon fiber and a SC. Fantastic used car prospect.

What an awsome car. What you're getting for the money is outstanding. No one can touch it. We have a 2006 non-Z06 with a "measly" 400 h.p./400 ft. lbs. and that S.O.B. is even more than enough car right out of the box. Paddle shift, magnetic suspension etc. My opinion on the SS/Sting Ray is it will be over priced and send the value factor right out the window. OK, I think the current Z06 is great.

Then why not just buy a base model STS or BMW? LOL This is a performance car, if you want a nice ride, don't get a sports car. Superior build quality? You apparently don't know much about the vette.

They are nice cars. 30 yrs. ago when my daily driver was a 72 Vette I always heard from some guy about how he drove his bother's or mom's or cousin's or friends or etc's Porsche. How much faster it was. It was never their car! When talking to people who WERE driving Porches or BMWs they were rather friendly and easy going. Not egotistical chest-beating snobs. I guess the new generation has more money than manners and common courtesy. It's amazing where things go when there is an informed friendly exchange of ideas. I like Porsches.

Thats just the Z06. And there isn't a hillbilly hick in the world that can afford a 70k car, and if they can they don't because they are very practical, they'll buy a truck.

No, I don't own a Vette. But, holy cow, the Vettes there were getting more attention and cheers than either the Enzo or the Porsche GT at the parade on Friday before the race. In 24 Hours of operation, neither Vette had to have its hood lifted. It was amazing. Oh, did I mention they kicked everyones ass? Viva la Corvette!!
