WOW!!!

Still less than I and many expected! Definitely the "Performance Bargain of The Millenium!"
I will adjust my finances accordingly in an effort to acquire this car in @ 1 year....

 

That is one HELL of a deal!!!! Viper killing performance for... 25k less?!?!? Dodge what is your answer to this?!?!

 

That's a really good deal

 

Museum Delivery?
CD changer also costs too much unless it comes with other upgrades.

But for $65k that is indeed an awesome price for some supercar power.

 

Agreed. WTF? I paid @ $1,200 for both my incredible PIONEER DVD/MP3/XM/IPOD/TV Tuner - headunit plus the PIONEER 6-Disc changer! That would leave @ $500 for quality speakers and/or amps!
Oh well... you can rest assured I would go "bare bones" at $65k and spend less than $4k for an INCREDIBLE Mobile Video/Audio & Alarm setup.

 

0-60 in 3.7 sec in 1st gear

Nothing short of world-class. If only the same can be said for the rest of the GM lineup...

 

Don't forget those side airbags Marcus!

 

No shiz... With all that performance, and low ride height... those are a MUST!

Hmmmm? Notice how the General is bending u over in order to get this VERY needed option:

2LZ Package (Side Air Bags, Luggage Shade, Memory, Auto Dimming Rear View Mirrors, Heated Seats, XM Radio, Power Steering Column & Homelink): $2900

 

LOL true...the 2LZ package otherwise looks like just some luxury items that no sports car really needs. Bundling side air bags with them is just lame. (I like your version A LOT better, TXSTYLE.)

 

Sounds like alot of horsepower for the money but at first it is not going to sell near that price. With dealer markups you can probrably expect to pay anywhere from 5-25 thousand over sticker. The last Z06 had large dealer markups when it was first sold and many where selling well over 60 thousand. Good for GM for putting out a vehicle like this.

 

Wooooooo!!!! Their a day early according to my sources, so you beat me to it, but awesome, awesome news! That is one helluva price and Lutz was right that we would be surprised (or at least others should be, I for SURE am). Wow, give it a year and I'm betting the old man's gonna pick one up.

65K was just what Car and Driver ( along with some of us here at CL) predicted when the car was first unveiled. I won't use any names because they know who they are.

 

Chevy announces Corvette Z06 0-60 mph time and base price

The ultimate Corvette�the 2006 Corvette Z06�is posting numbers at the track and on the window sticker that will get attention. Chevrolet has announced that the fastest Corvette ever�the 505-horsepower Corvette Z06�will achieve 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds while still in first gear, and pricing will start at $65,800, including destination and freight charges.

�Corvette is a global icon for world-class sports car performance at an incredible value, and offering the fastest production Corvette ever at this price is another testament to that reputation,� said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. �When you compare the Corvette Z06 performance stats to other supercars, you see numerous examples where you�re getting better performance with Corvette for one-third the sticker price of the competition.�

Developed alongside the Corvette C6.R race car, the Corvette Z06 uses advanced lightweight materials typically found only in the most exotic supercars. Use of weight-saving materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, titanium and magnesium give the 3,132-pound car a highly competitive weight-to-power ratio of 6.2 pounds per horsepower.

�The new Corvette Z06 is the dividend from competing so successfully in endurance racing,� said Dave Hill, Corvette�s chief engineer. �It combines the strong attributes of the new, sixth-generation Corvette with the spirit, technology and know-how from the race program to form an American supercar with outstanding credentials.� The highly anticipated Corvette Z06, which will be available in the fourth quarter of 2005, completes the sixth-generation portfolio, which also includes the 400-hp Corvette coupe and convertible.

Previous Corvette Z06 models, from the original 1963 model to the 2001-04 editions, incorporated suspension and engine upgrades that complemented existing Corvette systems. The 2006 Corvette Z06 is more differentiated from the standard Corvette than any other Z06 in history with every design element serving a performance function. Corvette Z06 features include:

� LS7 7.0-liter/427-cubic-inch Gen IV V-8 engine with lightweight reciprocating components

� 505 horsepower (373 kw) @ 6300 rpm

� 470 lb.-ft. of torque (657 Nm) @ 4800 rpm

� 6-speed manual transmission

� 7000 rpm redline

� Aluminum body structure with one-piece hydroformed perimeter rails frame and magnesium engine cradle

� Carbon-fiber composite front fenders, front wheelhouses and floors

� Dry-sump engine lubrication system

� Hand-built engine at GM�s new Performance Build Center

� Unique design styling that includes a larger grille, cold-air scoop and lower air splitter, wide-body front and rear fenders and a taller rear spoiler

� Engine, transmission and differential oil coolers and steering cooler

For all its race-inspired functionality, the Corvette Z06 also is designed to be refined as a daily driver with a sophisticated and comfortable interior and generous cargo volume. The Z06 will be offered in Machine Silver Metallic, Victory Red, Daytona Sunset Orange, Le Mans Blue Metallic, Velocity Yellow tintcoat and Black exterior colors.

 

Hot dog that is a great price. Incredible, they will sell every last one they can build.
