Some credible info on the Z06 replacement model:
P275/35ZR18 (Front), C6 Performance, F1 EMTs or new HP design
P325/30ZR19 (Rear), C6 Performance, F1 EMTs or new HP design

USA Today November 23, 2003 - " The C6 goes on sale next fall as an '05 model. Tom Wilkinson, GM spokesman, says it'll be priced close to the current model, which starts at $44,000."

The guy is leaking a little bit at a time though...

would it kill GM to get out of the stone age, and offer a 5 speed auto?

 

I agree that it would make sense, but their 4-speed auto is very stout and with all the torque this engine makes, the extra gears aren't that big a deal. I remember the Auto C5 is only a few tenths slower 0-60 than the manual even being a 4-speed auto

 

true, and their 4 speed autos are also bulletproof. imagine how great life would be if honda made cars while GM supplied the trannys :'(

 

with all that twist u dont need a 5 speed

what the stock hp #'s for the c6 and new z06, i didnt see them

does it have xenon lights??

 

It seems that I will put my sight on a loaded C6-Z06!

Can I get a loaded Z06?

 

Yeah, you can upgrade from the "playskool" to "Fisher Price" interior

Note to vette sackriders: don't get your panties in a knot. I like the vette

 

who cares about the auto? Those that get it probably wouldn't know the difference between a 5 speed auto and a 4 speed.

 

The new C6 sounds like its gonna be a winner. Good news to anyone who wants a C5 as the already low resale prices will drop even more.

 

Oh man can't wait to see performance numbers and pics of it in blue and mag red (not the old ones of it on top of a truck, real ones on the street).

 

I'm pumped.

 

 

This car is gonna be sick, hope its not too pricey though. They key selling point of the vette was its value per dollar. It is the best bang for the buck sports car ever, and has always been cheaper than almost every other sport car on the market. Cars like the supercharged cobra make take one in a straight line, but never on the track. The vette is a ferrari fighter for a quater of the cost. Also that 4 speed is known to put out better and more consistant times in the 1/4 than the manual, and it holds mods much better.

 

i hope to be the 1st here with one. i thought about an 04 s2ooo but i feel like a fag in the S and all my boys fucked with me.

it's vette time for dbox...

 

damn 6 liters of engine. God that thing will be a monster and for under 50k. Wow

 

damn right, I started saving when I saw those new pics.

 

cool

 

Why?? They just retired the last of their 3sp autos!!

 

no need to imagine. I think this is in the works. as GM bought madd honda engines. I think it was for their saturn line.

 

 

sweet,

if i like the interior i would love to get one of these in a few years
