Gas Guzzler Tax?

I am sure by now that everybody here is aware that there is a gas guzzler tax on both the '09 ZR1 & the '09 Z06, right? If not, you heard it here 1st.

I knew about the ZR1, but I did not know about the '09 Z06. About $1430 for the '09 Z06 & about $1900 for the '09 ZR1.

I heard it was $1700 on the 09 ZR1, but haven't heard of any gas guzzler tax on the Z06.

I could be off on the figures, but not on the data. there will be a gas guzzler tax on the '09 Z06.

Re: Gas Guzzler Tax?

Well, bottom line on this subject is that I hope that I am incorrect, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information on both sides of the fence. There is no mention of a gas guzzler tax on the '09 Z06 on both the jeffhardy site and the Richard Conti site, but there is on the KBB site. I did open this thread in good faith though, and I guess that time will tell if it is correct or not. I have also heard on another site that real window stickers do not come out until about August, that the ones that are out now are "fill-ins" until the real ones are released. I dunno.
