Z06 is going to be the one to beat on the streets now no matter how much $ you have. Maybe the Lambo Merc can take it out but that will be a close race too for $450,000 less hahah.
Buying hte new Z06 is a win/win as far as price/performance goes. Nothing tops it

And to add to that, the Z06 actually gets better mileage than the base C5. Think about that.

How do you figure? The current vette emits no more polution than your CL-S, and it gets the same exact mileage.

uh huh emissions wise i'm not going to argue but don't tell me that a big displacement v8 will net the same MPG than my v6. Don't give me suggested number by the car makers.

The current Vette gets 20-25 in the real world, if not driven with a lead foot. 1-4 skip and a 6th gear ratio that has you revving between 1500-2000 at 70 or so helps. This is from the real world, I have driven a 2000 C5 6MT Vert on many occasions. To Phoenix and back the trip computer reported 27.5 MPG and math at the pump gave us 27.457. Within the city the computer has shown 20~25 consistently, though that has never been verified at a pump. The car is still fairly new, though, only 9k or so on the clock today.

Looks like another parts bin GM to me, a C5 with a face lift...

I'll wait until we see uncovered shots, but I doubt my opinion will change...

Don't be fooled becuz the body cues are similar to what's out. It's underpinning is all new.

Ok, whatever Just because its "underpinning" is all new doesn't mean that it still won't look like another GM design that is already 15 years old when it hits the showroom floor. At least give it an interior that is better than Hyundai...that would be a start!

Easy buddy, eaaaasyyy! You post an old pick of a car and now you're putting down NSX? I thought that this forum had a user age minimum put in place
