Wow- that will be very interesting. They will sell those quickly especially if it is a stripped down version with a 6 speed manual

I like it a lot.
fast enough, looks great for daily driver. Not much depreciation, even '06 going for over $50K..

I have no idea about warranty, but if they start talking like GM why not give it a shot?
They have been building the same model for so long, I would think they have the quality sorted by now?

something tells me that by the time one get the options and TTL were prob in the Mid $120s. That puts it right in the C2's turf.

I am not a Corvette fan but I do have to admit the new Z06 looked pretty darn good at the Auto Show.

If they were producing them right now I wonder how many would bail with the GT3 fiasco. I bet you quite a few

I'll gladly be slower in the Aston......Z06 looks like a clown car compared to this, or any Aston.

C7 parked next to me this past weekend at Barber, that car is just plain fugly. Z06 looks even worse. Too angular, and choppy, while the Aston has curves and flows as a design.

Plus, I take a NA over forced induction every time. But that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about those.....

The angular and choppy z06 goes well with my mullet hairdo
