New Z06 Everything that you have previously read is all true including the look. I don't know if I am a little disappointed or not. Kind of like knowing what your presents are as a kid before Christmas. Anyway, I love the performance but not wild about the looks. I will hold judgement until I see one in person and wait for '07's. Performance wise, I am tempted to trade up IF I can get the blue/red. Anyone wanting more info can get it now at the National Corvette Museum website which was allowed to post at 12:01am EST.

All the performance stuff makes it sooo much better than the C5 Z06, but I think they could have done better on the looks as well. Regardless, it's a supercar now, and it's going to cost a buttload!

Brembo's are 4-piston if I'm not mistaken, the ones on that Corvette are 6! With 6 individual brake pads. Who wants to do a pad change? lol

Just watched the GM debut. If they make this thing in blue I am not going to be able to sleep. I did see a black one that was one mean MF'er. The yellow is not doing it for me but that 427 sure is. Maybe I can put one of those in mine cheaper that building one out of the LS6.
