Oooooh. Purty. I almost pulled the trigger a couple of months ago on that exact same color combo in a 2LZ with nav. Deal with trade was a still few thousand shy of my comfort zone. I'll wait until the end of the 2009 model year after the 2010 announcements. I would still like to see a HP bump on the LS7. It's overdue.

Nice car! I highly doubt you will miss your GTO driving that Z06 around town. The GTO is practically invisible compared to a Z06.

I paid 64,580.00 + TTL with just over 6K on the odometer.....had a velocity yellow 06 for 2 days at 59,580 but my credit union wasnt going to give me the new car interest rate i was able to get on the 07 (they give new car for + or - 1 year) so i got the 07 for about the same monthly payment. It doesnt have the NAV that the 06 had but i dont intend on taking her on any pizza deliveries. Thanks guys. Just coated her with polish and am going to wax and keep cleaning throughout the week for this weekend.
