The ZR-1 is an amazing car, but I still prefer the Z06. This Z06 is the best of both, and looks to be a real winner. Too bad it’s a bit out of my price range.

If for only one reason GM should survive, the Vette is that reason. I never understood why GM does not make the Corvette with right hand drive- half the world drives right hand drive. Aside from the periodic rattles and its cheap plastic interior, this car is really hard to beat. Unlike the Mustang, the Corvette is actually not retro yet it retains its original roots. A good solid design and a pretty damn fast vehicle which does not take a Phd to drive. Too bad all 500 of those cars will stay in the US with maybe 6 going to Europe – all the Germans I know, love this car.

James, the Corvette is also a very light car, the Z06 would be roughly 1400kg, for its type of power and performance that is spot on.

And this Z06 is an amazing vehicle, finally, all the looks and handling of the ZR1 with the LS7 motor. Simply astonishing.

They say this is good for 3 seconds a lap on Laguna Seca over the stock Z06 and with those carbon ceremics id beleive it.

its absolute murder Americans pay under 90k Australian for this machine, im well aware of the reasons it just never seems right =(

this corvette has great proportions. When i look at it, the last version of the rx7, the FD comes to mind. It has a certain RX7-ish thing about the design, (especially from the second pic, rear quarter forwards).

this design would look great shrinked down to a similar size to the FD rx7. 1200kg or there abouts, not too much more, would be perfect.
