The C6Z06 in the high 50's is a myth...cheapest one I could find was an 2006 for 63K on Ebay

The realiy is that people paid 75-90K for these cars and still owe 60-70 grand on them..LOL..Pretty dumb move IMHO..But you want what you want, and if you ave the dinero then it's your choice..

so we wont be seeing Z06 2006's at 55-59 K or so till next year....

When that supercharged version of the corvette comes. I'm sure there will be an abundant amount of C6 Z06s available in the high 50s.

the speculation is that the SC'd version is gonna be the LS3 engine, not the LS7. you put a SC on that LS7 and you're smoking the "new" Z06. but you're still prolly right about them droppin to the high 50s either way.
to the OP, your're right, i just looked at ebay, it's amazing how much those 06s are still going for!!

Bingo , I really looked at Vipers but in my area they go for all the money in the world...and I wasn't paying $40k for a early 1st gen Viper...I wish the SRT-10's would drop though because I would be a deal on one of those ....

ACR gets my vote of the two options def.

lol, as far as a supercharged LS7 smoking the new blue devil, what about someone turbo'ing the BD instead of the supercharger it'll get? How about that for smokin' performance hahaha.

If you're a cruiser... get the Viper... buy the latest model you can afford. Go over to the "Viper Alley"... those clowns will tell you how wonderful & rare the Vipers are !!!

Now... if you want to "Track your car"... hold out for a C-6 Z06, especially if you are going to be on a road course.

I instruct for "Viper Days" so I've been in & driven all the various Viper models... and the new Z06 is not only faster... it's also much much easier to hustle around the track !!!

Neither, I saw a viper GTS w/ Nitrous get schooled at Byron dragstrip outside of Chicago. A Lexus SC300 with a 2JZ-GTE swap w/ single huge turbo run low 11's, no cage and full leather interior.
