spied new zo6 r?
It was on the 405n in OC today. Full camo in matte black. Looked and sounded insane. Bunch of electronics on the dash. Flared fenders. I think it was the new Blue devil z06r. Tried messing with it in the 55 but the driver just smiled.

There's just something missing when you go from a car that has distronic, full high quality leather, a navigation system that works, swiveling headlights, cooled and heated seats and a boat load of other fantastic gadgets.
Okay honestly I was talking about the LS430 which @ 290hp or so does a 6 second 0-60 sprint.
Let me make one addition..
And the car has 500 hp, now I'm talking about the E55
When you go to almost any other sports car, it just seems wrong. Especially with 99% of your driving being normal. I just can't see a Z06 being 'the car to get'.

Wow man congrats on spotting, and basically confirming, the existence of the "blue devil." That thing is going to smoke EVERYTHING. Wait till the maniacs at Lingenfelter get their hands on it.

Funny, I know a few guys who went from an E55 to a Z06...kind of a "different" switch going from luxury-sports to pure sports but I think we all have the need for too much speed.

p. 16 Sept. Motor Trend. Drool...
"600hp plus" super-Z06. 7.0L S/C. 2900 lbs. A true Z06 killer, lol. I hope the price isn't > $100K but I bet it will be. With 4.83 lbs/hp it should run a high 10 sec ET.
Perhaps time to sell the E55 in 1.5 years for this.....
