New Z06!!!!!!! NICE!!!!!
My buddy just picked up his new C6 about a month ago. He did the museum delivery and the tour guide said that 1 out of every 6 vettes coming off the line this year will be a Z06. The most since they introduced them he was told. I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of these ths year guys.

Same here, I needed an automatic and also wanted that open top summertime thing (it really just makes the experience that much more) goin' on, otherwise I would've gotten a Z06 LS7 instead of the C6 LS2.
