EDIT: It appears that the Z06 is a new Tiger Shark Gray that will be replacing Cyber Gray. Bummer.

I love my C6 Z06 but I can't wait to get my hands on the new C7 Z.

I think it's available now. It's through Ally financial. You can do 5k or 7.5k miles. 5k would be perfect for weekend drivers. If you google "corvette super ultra low" the 4th result is a PDF that has some of the details. The first result will take you to the Vette forums where one of the dealers who's a forum member goes into more detail about it.

I called it dark grey because I had a feeling it wasn't the regular cyber grey that GM uses, but either way it's sexy no matter what it's called.

How do you expect GM to add all the tech and parts of the C6 ZR1 to the new Z06, plus a bunch of new R&D, and somehow maintain the old Z06 price point? That is completely unreasonable. C6 ZR1 is around 120k, so the new Z06 is going to be at least the same price as ZR1 was but most likely a little more.

Exactly! You're getting a Zr1 that is rebadged as a Z06, so the price will be comparable to Zr1 pricing with a slight increase.

I make perfect sense, you just live in kind of world where you have to be right no matter what. I thought you were the one claiming 85k? So you'd be as far off as I was if this thing actually can be had for 100k.

Geezus Christ, you'd think on a car forum of enthusiasts you could have a friendly discussion about cars. Why are you so hell bent on arguing and fighting over something trivial that nobody has the answers to yet? Like wtf do you care what I think the price will be? If you think you're right then good for you, I am not trying to prove you wrong. It is a discussion forum for sharing opinions, I'm sharing mine. Like I said, if you wanna rehash this when there is cars on dealer floors, then go ahead and do a little dance and rub it in my face at that time. Not that I will give any more fucks at that time then I do now.

People argue because you start saying their opinions are wrong and your opinion is right. You try to come off as superior in your posts and you get responses reflective of that.

I had a quote of "I could see the C7 Z06 going for $85-95k personally."

I am sticking with it.

Hmm, I actually kind of liked the darker Cyber Gray better, but Tiger Shark Grey is definitely sexy as well. It also looks like it might contrast better with the black accents of the car (vents and such). Reminds me of how the M3 discontinued Sparkling Graphite after its first model year, which even looks kind of like Cyber Gray judging by pics. Thanks for the tip!

Kind of wish GM had an equivalent of BMW Individual, even if it was only to order non-standard exterior colors.

If I buy one of these (which is looking like a distinct possibility in a few years), I'd consider it a crime if I were only putting 7.5K miles per year on it.

Still, nice find!

You lucky bastards down south. With the 4 months a year I get to use my car I do manage over 10k KM's, but only because I make a point to do some great road trips.

Fair enough. Then apologies to anyone I said flat-out was looking at it wrong, just looking at it with less objectivity I guess.

It was never meant to be a bickering point, so that's not how it meant to come across, but I see your point.

[F1Venom]

It's been confirmed by Chevy that there won't be a ZR1.

[MisterSkiMask]

ok, so, lightly used GT3, or new Z06?!?!?!?!!!???

Lightly used? I think the 997.1 GT3's will be the ones that come close to new Z06 pricing.

Huh? You kiddin' me? Z06 all day, every day.

[CirrusSR22]

To me, the 911 now just seems boring after this thing arrived.

Saw one tonight. Needed a change of pants when I got home.

Also, he's coming off as super insecure and combative. Hard to have non-argumentative discussions with people like that unless you just ignore them, which I have chosen to do.
