I dunno. Chevrolet has been very inconsistent with naming various Corvette trims. No name seems to carry on for more than two gens in a row. PLEASE Chevy, keep this as the Z06!!

All of you that think it is going to be a Z07 will be wrong. I'm looking forward to writing a thread titled "I Told You So" when they call it a Z06.
It was a Z06 on the C2, it will be a Z06 on the C7. |

In 1963 they sold 199, "Z06 Special performance equipment," optioned Vetts.
The option had a MSRP of $1818.45 on top of a base price of $4252.00 for coupes. Later in the model year it was offered on convertibles for $1293.95, but it didn't have the 36 gallon fuel tank, or knock off wheels. (courtesy of the "Corvette Black Book.") Ed |

I'm surprised no one connected the dots between the "Z06" and its "replacement"...the "ZR1" Packages...
Z06, as per the history here, was essentially a near-race-ready highest hp smallblock C2 in 1963. So it was, too, for the ZR1 in the C3 from 1970 thru '72... http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs...t-Corvette.pdf See Page 5 of the pdf So the ZR1 name extends thru 3 generations as well: C3, C4 (LT5 DOHC V8, '90-'95), and C6. And I suspect it's a safe bet to reappear as a C7... |

Yes, to all that was previously stated, but I would venture to say it would be called a ZO MG! :p
