Z06 is amazing.

How does anyone have one when they aren't out yet?

Chevy says early 2015....

Anyway, you don't need to spend north of 100k to get a badazz Z06... my Stage-1 Z06 with PDR/Nav option stickered just below 81K. No gas guzzler tax on the M7's too, and if you want the fast shifting A8 then it's ~3K total added since it has a 1300 GG Tax. And you can install all the Stage 2 or 3 aero pieces on a Stage-1 build... the base of the rear spoiler allows you to interchange wicker bills from stage to stage with ease via 10 torx screws.

And yeah, it's a monster... like a Z51 on steroids/PED's plus it sounds ridiculously sick too!

Good God!!!!.. Man your car looks amazing!!!!.. Didn't know you could get the wheels in another color besides black!!!

The Z06 went into production nearly a month ago.

Maybe they were talking about the Z06 convertible that I like!

Beautiful cars and i'd love one as a toy but no room for more toys. Rumour mill is there will be another reincarnation of the ZR1 but but it will be STUPID fast posibbly effecting the rotation of the earth with its abundant torque. An yes that Zora mid-engine rumour is flying around and I'd love to see it actually happen.

Stingray, what an incredible car, congrats.

Thanks everyone. I'm still in awe of this.... the power & torque it puts to the ground is sick! I gotta be careful.

Those on the top of a dealer's early allocation list got dibs to place an order for the first production cycle which started the week of Nov.10th... mine was built on 11/14 and arrived at the dealer on 12/4. Took it home yesterday. Only M7 Coupes for the early batches... I think they'll produce the A8 and convertibles soon either before or right after the holidays.

Pic before I left the dealer... traded in my Z51 'vert. And I'll soon drop this an inch via stock bolts.


And the Z06's flared fenders & especially the rear quarters transforms the character of the C7 from a sporty coupe to a wide-bodied aggressive predator.

I know... That's what I read too. I wonder if they did that to make Dodge and Ford drop their goodies first??

Would it kill ya to put the $100,000 cars in the dealer and take the $15,000 sparks outside the showroom. Haven't seen a z06 round here yet. May actually be worth going bankrupt. No? The yellow one would look great with chrome rims and red calipers. Oh and a tow hook, and I would love that rear window untinted to show off my nitrous tanks, subtle red lights from behind the vents would look killer too.... Someone pinch me!

Haha!!!.. They just remodeled this dealership. A few years back they used to keep the 1 ZR1 they had in the showroom. They now have 6 Z06's and 3 Z28's. They all can't fit in the showroom!
