My exact thoughts

I still wish they did something different with that rear bumper. Honestly the only thing I can find that I do not like on these cars. It looks cheap while the rest of the car looks Money.
wow, that’s a lot of car for the money. 650 hp 5 year 100k warranty with carbon brakes and body work for sub 100k.
I enjoyed the stock base auto that I drove, can’t imagine this…
Same. First time I saw one a couple of months ago I was impressed.
It’s actually “cheap” when you consider the C6 ZR1 was 120-130k
it’s actually too cheap… the car is too accessible to the middle class and as a result is very unamerican 
they really should add $15 - $20k into the price at various levels to make it harder to buy
I can’t wait to see a black one all carbon’d out in person :fuckingdrool:
Corvettes haven’t really done anything for me until this generation. So amazing.
I cant wait to see the white with CF roof if they do that again. That looks damn good with the black rims.
And agreed the liking them part. This is the one that got me into them.
Very nice :tup:
2015 Corvette Z06 Priced at $78,995
American supercar delivers unprecedented performance, technology
DETROIT – The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – the most powerful and technologically advanced model in the iconic car’s 62-year history – will be offered at a suggested retail price of $78,995 while the convertible model will start at $83,995, Chevrolet announced today.
“The 2015 Corvette Z06’s performance and technical capabilities place it in the elite fraternity of supercars,” said Harlan Charles, Corvette product and marketing manager. “Very few cars in the world deliver 650 horsepower, true aerodynamic downforce, carbon fiber and performance technologies such as Magnetic Ride Control, Performance Traction Management and an electronic limited slip differential – and none gives the driver a transmission choice or the choice of a coupe with a removable roof panel or a full-power-top convertible.”
Leveraging learnings from the Corvette Racing program, the $2,995 Carbon Fiber Ground Effects package enables the Corvette Z06 to produce true aerodynamic downforce for increased stability at high speeds. The package adds a functional carbon fiber front splitter, carbon fiber rocker panels and a larger rear spoiler.
For the ultimate performance, the Z07 Performance Package is available for $7,995, adding Brembo carbon ceramic-matrix brake rotors that improve braking performance and contribute to better handling through reduced unsprung weight. The Z07 package adds adjustable front and rear aerodynamic components to the Carbon Fiber Ground Effects package for unprecedented aerodynamic downforce and Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup tires for enhanced grip.
“The Z07 performance package enhances overall performance to make the Corvette Z06 one of the most track-capable cars you can buy off the dealership floor and still drive it to work every day,” said Charles.
Z06 models are offered in 1LZ, 2LZ and 3LZ trims. A range of available features enables customers to tailor the look and feel of their Z06, including:
Premium Package with leather-wrapped interior Aero-enhancing carbon fiber ground effects package Performance Data Recorder and navigation Competition sport seats offered in leather or sueded microfiber Carbon fiber interior trim and carbon fiber convertible tonneau cover inserts Visible carbon fiber roof panel (Coupe) Tintcoat exterior colors, several available wheel finishes and several available brake caliper colors.
Most powerful, technologically advanced Corvette ever
The Z06 rejoins the Corvette lineup for 2015 with a stronger aluminum frame than previous models, an aero package designed to produce performance-enhancing downforce and an all-new, supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine rated at an SAE-certified at 650 horsepower (485 kW) and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm). That makes it the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the United States.
To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages the same trio of advanced technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray – direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing – and leverages them with a new, more efficient supercharger. Combined with the fuel-efficient multi-speed transmissions, aerodynamic design and lightweight construction, they help make the new Z06 surprisingly efficient.
The Corvette Z06 also leverages other technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray, including the strategic use of lightweight materials and advanced driver technologies, with calibrations tailored for its capabilities. The aluminum frame structure, for example, is 20 percent stiffer than the previous, fixed-roof Z06.
Additional technologies support the car’s tremendous performance capabilities and enhance the driving experience, including:
Third-generation Magnetic Selective Ride Control dampers are standard and can be adjusted for touring comfort or maximum track performance via the standard Driver Mode Selector Performance Traction Management is available in the Track mode of the Drive Mode Selector and offers five settings of torque reduction and brake intervention for track driving Launch control is available in Track mode for manual and automatic transmissions, providing maximum off-the-line acceleration An electronic limited-slip differential, also standard equipment on Z06, adjusts the rate at which the limited slip engages, to balance between steering response and stability in different driving conditions with more aggressive performance in Sport and Track modes.
The Z06 offers three increasing levels of aerodynamic downforce:
The standard Z06 features a front splitter, spats around the front wheel openings, a unique carbon-fiber hood with a larger vent, and an aggressive rear spoiler. The available carbon-fiber aero package – in either carbon flash paint or a visible carbon-fiber finish – adds a carbon-fiber front splitter with aviation-style winglets, carbon fiber rocker panels, and a larger rear spoiler with a fixed wickerbill, which combine to create true aerodynamic downforce The available Z07 package adds larger winglets to the front splitter, along with an adjustable, see-through center section on the rear spoiler for track use. With this package, the Corvette Z06 delivers the most aerodynamic downforce of any production car GM has tested.
Drivers can monitor the Z06’s performance without taking their eyes off the road via a standard color head-up display that, among the range of performance readouts, displays a g-meter in Track mode.
The Z06 also offers the award-winning, industry-first Performance Data Recorder – or PDR – which enables users to record high-definition video, with telemetry overlays, of their driving experiences on and off the track. The racing-derived system is included with the available navigation system.

You already know that it’s blown LT4 makes 650-hp and 650 lb-ft. That potent engine, when paired with the new 8-speed paddle-shifted automatic, delivers a 0–60 time of 2.95 seconds. The quarter mile is vaporized in 10.95 seconds at 127 mph. That’s with the available Z07 package, which includes the max-downforce aero kit, Brembo carbon-ceramics, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. It also pulls 1.2 g on the skidbad. The previous best for any Vette was 1.13 g.
With the seven-speed stick, the Z06 races to 60 in 3.2 seconds and hits the quarter in 11.2, again at 127 mph. The top speed has not been anounced, but 200+ mph is a foregone conclusion at this point.
On street tires :lol:
So much for the hellcat
Pulled up along side the identical yellow car Zo7 with the carbon package on the road. Rear lip is really tall.
He smiled and indicated that with the wife in the car he wasn’t going to get silly. Glad because it would have humbled me pretty quickly.
Along with the Hennessey Mustang if they do produce that as well. 717hp with less weight than the challenger/charger.
This vette though looks and seems to be bad ass. Hopefully no major issues with this model.
Stop comparing modded cars to factory stock vehicles.
I hate Corvettes but that thing seems pretty sweet.
I can’t see how not to buy this car. With my gm discount ( which you won’t see until a good 6+ mos after it comes out its like 66 or 7 for the stripped version. That is so sick but wifey probably wouldn’t talk to me for a yr. She’s fine if I trade in the 427. Nope!!!
One at work the other day
^^^^ someone told me that. How’d it look?
I’m assuming you didn’t see the report. Hennessey is saying they will create a 717hp mustang for the cost of a Dodge Hellcat. (Hellcat being from the factory) The Hennessey is one that you would purchase and send to them like you would to Rouche upon purchase. I’m saying for the cost if this is true, I’d rather go with the hennessey over the hellcat. I’d still prefer the z06 over both of those anyways.
Looked great! Very mean look to it.
