Ya well the cars take the hardest hit the first two years, but who knows for sure on this bad boy, will make my mind up when I see the used prices to new prices. If there going to be 70's I will wait for sure. Would hate to have that kind of carpayment, that is like buying half a house, in 5-6 year note, no thank you, I would go as high as 60K, that is almost half of what I paid for the car I have now. So who knows that is two years away a lot can happen between now and then.

btw, www.LS7tech.com works just fine. Its been up for a few months now. Awesome site too.

The photo of the black Z06 I posted in the LS2/LS7 forum makes me drool. Its been a long time since a stock car could make me drool just by looking at it. I'm wondering if someone will make the widebody kit for the regular C6, that would be a cheaper option.

I'll check it out. Yeah, I am leaning on black with red trim on the interior. I love how the black looks. I just hate cleaning it.

Haha! A redirector. Too funny. Yeah, awesome site!

I think black C6s look the best, but I'm pretty **** and seeing a swirl mark or scuff or rock chip ruins my day. The black ones would look awesome for about 5K miles, then you start to notice the road wear and tear and it makes you want to sell them

Tell me about it. Now add two tones of black paint (only under certain lighting) and you'll know how much the current Z06 paint bugs the hell out of me. Looks fine as long as I don't shine a halogen light on it.

Who knows. I may end up with silver. Not worried about it yet because it's item 4 on a long-term goal list. The house as it sits today is nothing but a wooded lot, so there's lots of work to be done just to get over the first hurdle.
