wow very nice. I want one so bad but i just cant pull the trigger. What did you pay for it? You think the prices will dive bomb like everything else on the road with a v-8 right now? What are your payments? If you dont want to answer you dont have to just seeing if its as bad as i imagine

The prices for these are not bad and are holding well compared to the SUV's. I traded in our TBSS for this. I didn't take it in the shorts as bad as I was expecting, but I called around quite a bit and worked them as much as I could. I got a lot more than I expected for it and got the Z for over $10,000 off MSRP. There were a few big dealers that could beat that by about $1500, but they could not come close on the trade and I would have had to fly out or ship the vehicle. So, it was a wash once all was said and done. And I got AO. That is the color I wanted!!! I plan on keeping this car for a long time. I had a '02 Z, and this so much more fun. I loved the C5Z, but this thing is a whole new beast.

Thanks everyone! I've only had time to put about 120 miles on it so far(I know...I know..). But those 120 miles have been amazing. It's such a refined car! I installed the M2W on it the other day, and it does give it a much better sound. It has a little drone to it, but it's not too bad. Once I put some more miles on it and get the feel for it, it will be time to throw a tune in it.

Don't get any prettier than AO with those chrome wheels. Really nice car!

Incidentally, with GM's new technology a tune voids your engine, tranny and drive train warranty.

I've borrowed from the company several C6Zo6's and I've seen the differences from my C5Zo6 immediately...

Good for you!!! Congrats!
