2006 ZO6 Awesome!

[perry]

Just read the specs for the new ZO6 in Motor Trend. Aluminum chassis, 427 500 HP, carbon fiber, massive brakes, etc. Only thing is, with an $80000 price tag I`ll be keeping mine for a while. The new one will be a world beater but at almost $30000 k over list for my 2001 it`s out of my reach. I`ll live with my 2001`s deficiencies!

I like everything I read about the new ZEE. even the price doesen't bother me to much. If the General thinks that the new Z06 will sell like the old Z06 from 5 to 8 thousand units a year. IMO they are dead wrong. The bean counters must be all over them with facts and figures. The 2001 thru 2004 IMO was the highest profit making model of all the C5's. I'm sure it costs no more to manufacture a LS6 motor and a MN12 tranny than it did the LS1 or the MN6 tranny. As for the body style FRC over fastback I'll bet that was cheaper also. So IMO the Z06 costs the least to produce and was about the most expensive MSRP wise.

The new Z06 will be a Great car that will not sell well after the first couple of years as the ZR1 did in the nineties. In some ways this is good because not every Tom, Dick and Harry will have one making the car more unique.

If that is accurate, that would be good news to most here IMO. I think almost all of us current Zee owners would pay up to $65K for the new Zee.
