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

The nice thing is that that moror will be available to buy and will caus aftermarket folks to lower their prices for one. Maybe they will cost 10k down the road.

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.
