Looking great. I have a Z06 now and love it. This new car looks exactly what the Z06 croud has been asking for.

AND... the Blue Devil (427 Twin Turbo) carbon body pannels, 2600 pounds of 650 HP madness. Looks like the US wants to stay in the sports car arena after all!

Yeah, my friend had a sneak preview of it and said it looks to be a 7L V8 putting out near 600hp if possible (even tho it looks like 500hp is the target and what the rumors are saying) - all handbuilt. I'm sorry but this now takes the cake for my dreaam car - I love german cars but man that VETTE is amazing.

My Goodness!!!

What is the world coming to?!? I swore I would NEVER go back to GM (very very bad experience with an X-car) but man-o-man I may have to go back and eat my words. Most of all, I am impressed with the fact that they are making the current Vette "shorter" while Porsche seems to want to make their 911 "longer"

Good job GM (don't know if you'll ever get me back, but kuddos on the good work!)

This is pretty cool. I had a really strong (favorable) reaction to the car as well. I had an 01' C5 Roadster a couple of years back and they are fun cars. This new ZO6 looks like teh hawtness. Nice to see such unanimous support for a GM product. Did I just say that?
