It's a cool car, but in no way worth what chevy and the dealerships are gonna charge for it. I'm sure many of us here can build a car that will out perform it for much less.

Not trying to be rude but, that’s a completely ridiculous statement.

There is no one here that can build it for less money and perform better. Not even close.

Especially with a 100k mile warranty.

One could build an Ultima GTR, but not for much less.

I was never a big advocate of this car when I first heard of it's development. I have always taken the stance that we should have refocused the millions that would be spent towards hybrid/battery technology. We already had the ZO6 and the base model Corvette, why a third? I won't argue that it's a phenomenal car and probably scary fast...but we had (and still have) other pressing issues facing our corporation that are much more important than having a Super Corvette.

If the Corvette, Corvette ZO6, and C5 Camaro aren't enough to "generate excitement for the Chevrolet brand" then our problems at General Motors are a lot more complicated than first thought.

Again...it's a great car, but now was not the time for it.

Anyway...that's my $.13 on the subject.

awesome car!! i just bought a 2008 z06. if i was going to buy one, i would wait for a while because the dealer markup is going to be insane!! i love my z, not much if anything around here(where i live) can touch it. i would love to own a zr-1. maybe someday. talking about top speed, there are guys on youtube that have had their z06s doing 205 mph. the zr-1 is rated at 638 hp. there are also a few guys that have bolted a procharger on and are making over 700 hp at the crank and around 630 at the wheels in a stock z06 at only 6 lbs. of boost.

Cool car. Gotta love the LS motors. Amazing with little mods how much more hp you gain. Enjoy the car.
