It looked more like a regular c6 Z06 with some rims. Not sure if thats it or not. It did look weird with all the black junk covering stuff up

I am sure it falls into the category of 'If you have to ask how much it costs, you can not afford it.".

All sorces I've read speculate it will come with a $100 large price tag.

Honestly, just for my taste, I'd rather have the LS7. There's just something about a 4-2-7. I hope they make a direct injection version of the LS7 when it gets phased out.
