I would suggest we all watch the Detroit Auto Show the 1st of the year. Z07 just might be announced as a 2015 with something in the area of 550-575hp and not the 600+ others have predicted. Will the Z07 have an optional 8-speed dual clutch tranny? Hmmm.... I've found that if you watch what...

If you'll notice, the video is a youtube video and the person who took the video posted the comments on the video. I hope to be there the 1st weekend in January to see the 24hr testing. And, of course, be there to see the Corvettes back at the Daytona 24hr. Trying to think how many years it's...

Turn up your speakers and enjoy the nasty sounding C7R race car testing at Daytona a few days ago. Bob B. 2014 Chevreolet Corvette C7R Daytona - YouTube

I'm really disappointed to hear about all the orange peel (sp) and will definitely hold off on a C7 till the issue is fixed or just keep checking dealer lots till I find one with acceptable paint. On the large Corvette Forum there is a guy here who went on and talked clearly and with experience...

Drove my '12 Grand Sport to FL last Dec. and back here to MA in May. Love the way the car tears up the miles. Seats are great too (not the very best but better than any of the other 15 Corvettes I've owned). Jersey Pike is the pits. Drivers there have a death wish. Will go 81 this October to...

You're right.

Maybe it's time for a different brand. If I had your luck I'd probably have a Porsche in the driveway. Their sales are up 32%. BB

A similar question was asked of Will Cooksey who was, at the time, the assembly plant manager for the Corvette. It was asked about the C4. His answer was "the last year". He went on to qualify his statement by saying that the Corvette is a "work in progress with changes and upgrades happening...

So this "special 1 of 500" car should be around $90,000. If you can buy a used ZR-1 for 3 or 4K more I 'm not sure why anyone would want this new car. If they were building less than 100 maybe but not when, for almost the same money, you could be in a ZR1. Should be interesting to see if they...

Hey Zippy, Yes, that's a low number and the Atomic Orange is very nice. Car had about 4k miles on the OD and it looked and smelled brand new! Sold a black 2007 Z06 to another guy yesterday and that one had 3500 miles on the OD. So, we've got a Z06 Posse forming here in MA!!! :D

That beautiful Z06 is now in the able hands of a friend of mine. I delivered it to him yesterday. Happy Z06'ing to Jay and Janet! Now I'll have a Z06 buddy on the Cape. Bob

Very impressive video. Bob

I can't wait to hear about how you like/dislike the launch control. Let us know when you test it out. Then, fire down some of those on ramps with that cornering control on. That should be a blast. :D Should make a great track car too!!! Bob B.

Should be one sweet ride Zippy. Please share some pics as I would like to see that beauty!! Bob B.

Hey Zippy, Glad to see you got off the '09 and on the '10. I want a ride and I want you to demonstrate all those new driving options!!! :) I'm actually toying with the idea of a GS. Will decide in the next few weeks. Zippy, when is your ZR1 being built? Bob B.
