2006 ZO6 Corvette

NewToy · Mar 30, 2006

My brother just bought a new ZO6 Corvette. That thing should be illegal. I have never been in a car that runs like that monster. I have a '94 vette and this thing is in a whole different league. It's that mid life crisis thing going on.

I lack the personal restraint to have a piece like that, but it would be a blast while it lasted.

What an obscenely overpowered, ecologically unsound vehicle. I wish I had one!

John ) I sold this '69 427 car last spring.......I thought the old ones ran good, but the new vettes are NUTZ ! You actually feel safe at 150 mph in the new ones. I'll have to wait 6-8 years & get a 2006 Z06 then when the price drops a bit.

I've got the same plan, but it's for a 2006 Mustang GT. Maybe I'll add the 2006 Z06 five years after that!!!

As cool as the Vette's are, I'm still saving my nickels and dimes for a Viper... I wonder how thier engineering team is going to respond to the newest Vette.

I always liked the Viper, but I believe this is the Vette that would give it a run. If Daimler were to one-up them it could get interesting.

Tom, Nice looking old Vette. Those Big Blocks were pretty awesome in their day. I bet you miss it now and again?

John ) I was saving 2 old vetts for my kids college funds. (They're 9 & 10) I sold them last spring & put the money into 2 spec houses in cape coral Fl. I figured I could do better in the long run putting the money into real estate..........Time will tell ?.........I still have a barn that's too full of old cars........just not vettes. I always wanted a vette........they're out of my system now for awhile .........for now anyway !

The ones that amaze me are prices on Hemi Mopars. There are Hemi Cuda's going for $3-500K. I really like Mopars, but it still amazes me /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
