75k is outrageous if its not sporting a 7.0L pushin about 525+ out IMO. The one reason the Z06 was so successful was the fact that it could give the 70k+ car crowd a run and still be economical (altho you may argue ~52k isnt economical, but for what it is, I think its a steal).

There was a rendering on SVTperformance that was just horrid. Looked like it had way too much of a euro feel to it. That to me just looks like a refined C6 which is exactly what the next gen Z should be.

I agree. Dave Hill has made the comment that this new ZO6 will be more extreme with respect to the C6 than the C5 ZO6 was to the C5, so I can see some further price separation. However, I fully believe that he intends to keep the ZO6 being one of the best bang-for-the-buck performance cars out there. With that in mind, to justify a $75k price IMO, it HAS to have at a minimum the 427, sub-3000lb weight, and some serious track capability (e.g. suspension, brakes, etc). All that plus the factory warranty you don't get when modding would make a strong case for the $$.

Personally, I'd love to see them lose the nav system, lose the OnStar, lose the standard "bluehair" Corvette fluff options, but keep that above-mentioned performance, and sell it for around $60k. That would be awesome IMO and I'd be in line for a black one come '07

Me too Fulton. I agree 100%. Altho I dont mind those options, Im glad they did make them options for the most part, and not 100% standard equip. And I'd still be in line for an 02 Z when the time came, just cause i'd be finished w/ college and I could get one for cheap lol.

That looks awesome. Definitely a more aggressive looking Vette. Maybe it'll be as aggressive as the WS6 and SS are to the regular Firebird/Camaro.

I'm almost 100% it will be a targa body style but no actual targa. It will have a fixed roof.

I think targa, or targa style would be shitty. I like the coupes with the small back window, like the 01-04 Z06. $75K would also be shitty.

i agree, i think it should be a coup, stronger structuraly, also more of a race car.
keep the targa top for the base c6.

that would suck if it had the targa body style, the small back window and bigger trunk looks way better, by the time im outta college ill be trading the t/a in for that z06, it is so so sick.
