I'm waiting for that LS-7 to become available as a crate engine.

Bolt-in 427 cubic inches and 500 horsepower in a Gen IV package. I don't know if it gets any better than that.

Up into recent I have only really cared for the mid year Vettes. These new body styles are awesome though...And the Z06...What's not to like!! Hands down the baddest one yet!!!

I want a full report on the test drive Scott!! Or better yet, maybe I can co-pilot!!

Guys I hate to disappoint you, but the Z06 doesn't pull very hard at WOT........Just Kidding!....Actually, the thing is an ANIMAL!...definitely eyeball flattening acceleration..The thing is truly a racecar for the street, with A/C and a Bose radio to boot. Buyers will not be disappointed, only Porsche and Viper owners will be......

This is a pretty good depiction of me after my first wot accel..

Have fun SS!

Definitley one of the best Vette's ever!

On another note I drove a 2005 400hp GTO yesterday.It isn't the best looking car, but once inside and behind the wheel it puts a smile on your face

Cool, a local boy! That's a great dealership, I've bought three new vehicles from them. They have the best Vette selection in this area by far. Now, trying to get a new Z06 at ANYTHING resembling sticker price will be another thing!
