Any future C6 owners in here?

[tbyrne]

I was set on ordering a convertible but I'm really starting to lean towards either the coupe instead. I like the looks of both but the main reason for a coupe will be less headaches from track officals about not having a cage when the car is running 11s or faster. Both cars are supposed to be shown together in Houston, Ft Lauderdale and NYC so I might check out one of those shows. I think FL will be the choice so I can get away from the cold for a few days :)

I'm gonna get one, in about twenty years, or when I win the lottery. :)

[Y2K Roadster]

I am but it will be a couple of years. I want a decent aftermarket to develope first as well as some time to work out the kinks with the new model.

:stupid:

[dvandentop]

plan on it after about 3-4 years of new style being out, or whenever i get my z06 paid off :D

[XTrooper]

Hell, no! I've got my C5 just about where I want it and I'm getting ready to pay it off in a couple of weeks. I'm holding right where I am for awhile! :cool:

[03ToRcHrEdVeTtE]

id rather try to get an 04 vette, i dont like the new body style, lights, and the grille is gross. I cant knock the engine though :worship: LS2. Im extremely satisfied with my CETA

[$ickZ06]

i love the new c6... what color would you get one in if you got one? i have only seen a red one and a SOM one, does anyone have pics of the lemans blue metallic?

[GarySS]

I will have the new Z06 when it comes out.:drive:

[SS MPSTR]

I'm waiting for the C6 Z06.

[DrEvyl]

If things go well, I may pick one up late in the year. I'm seriously considering it..

[MillenniumVette]

Im going to get the Z06, or whatever they will call it, the second year that it is out.

[T-Rex]

I think I'll wait a yr till the non-popup HL grow on me :p

Can I have your slow 01?

[McRat]

We will probably wait for the second year C6 "race" version (will it be Z06? Who knows?)

GM will probably "softball" the first year again, then throw down the gauntlet on the second year.

Odd story:

Two guys show up at the track Sat with Porsches. We start talking cars. One says he saw a new C6 in Escondido??? Said it had MFR plates, and when the guy popped the hood, there was a Lingenfelter Twin Turbo motor in it. Driver said they were doing durability testing....

The Blue Devil??>>

Who knows. The guy sounded for real and was about 60. He wasn't a big vette guy either. He pronounced Lingenfelter wrong even, and didn't know the new vette was called the C6. He said it had fixed headlights...

HMMMM....

[McRat]

Oh, and the driver said the motor was 650HP.

Nice!! :drool:

[snakecharmer]

Maybe. I'm waiting for the Z06 version, and hoping by then that I MAY be used to that god-awful headlight treatment. I don't hate it quite as bad as I did when it first saw it, but it is still taking some getting used to. :)

[Phoenix]

heck yeah. it will sit in the garage next to the c5 vert. i think it will be a Z06 or a vert. hard to say at this point.

Interesting. If so, what a m*****f****** beast that will be. I can't imagine what the sticker will be either.

[$ickZ06]

i like the new headlights

[Phoenix]

the Z06 will be a 3-valve head design supposedly. ~500hp. there is rumor of a ZL1 (remember the all aluminum 427 from 69?) with 650hp.

[Y2K Roadster]

I love the new headlights, especially in the commercial!

[wicked 98z]

I want to get one once they hit the used market. Just cant afford the new ones. But ill then im happy with my 00 Vette

They don't work out the kinks. The 04 still has the same gas gauge problems. The steering wheel column lock problem is still there. They did eliminate the Headlight motor problem by eliminating the flip headlights.

[xPredator86x]

Anyone have pics of the Vert model? First post mentioned it. I have yet to see these pics.

[VETTEX2]

I'll get one................gonna wait a year or 2 though............

[Patman]

Why is everyone planning on waiting? That's what warranties are for. The 97 Corvette was no less reliable than the 98, so anyone who waited in that case only ended up punishing themselves.

If I had the money, I'd have no problem picking up the very first C6 that came off the assembly line. If it turned out to be a total lemon, GM would replace it with a brand new one anyways!

[GarySS]

Like stated above why wait......The 97 -04 Vette's basically have the same problems:rolleyes:

[Chrisrokc]

I plan on getting the race version of the car in about 3 years when I get into law school. :cool:

[qsz06modred]

i will go with 06 when the z comes back

silver. red int

[Patman]

I don't like C5s in silver too much but I love the C6 in silver! I thought Daytona Orange would be my favorite C6 color but now it's so hard to decide (not that I'll be lucky enough to get a C6, but I still like to pick the options in my head as to what car I'd order if I could)

[SSkindog]

I am 2cnd in-line at my dealer for a coupe. Should take delivery in Oct Nov of this year. A Z/51.

Better yet........I am #1 on thier list for their 1st Z06. Will trade the Z51 on it

Cant hardly friggin wait :)

[Patman]

If you're second in line why do you have to wait until Oct/Nov to get it? It's supposed to be on the streets much earlier than this, I believe production starts in May or June.

I live in the sticks..........small town dealer...only sells 8 -9 Vettes a year.
He thinks he will get his 1st one in Aug - Sept, 2cnd on in Oct - Nov....I hope he is wrong, and it comes sooner.
He says he thinks they will start taking orders in May...that part will be fun too

[LS1LT1]

I could be a future (somewhat distant future) C6 owner but only after I satisfy my need for a C5 to replace my C4 first. :drive:

Evyl, Im going to Seaview Chev today to look at a Z06, you want to meet up there??

You are a very wise man to not jump on the C6 Bandwagon right away. Did'nt the '97 C5 have some problems? I'm looking forward to the C6 Z06. I prefer the Coupe but who can not like 500hp the C6 Z06 is proposed to have out of the factory, at least that is what I've heard?

I knew you were a smart fella;) Hold on to that beautiful C5 for a loooong time, my friend. I admire the well taken C3's kept by the original owner.

[mshiznitzh]

What is the price tag on a C6?



<---------------Wants one after I get out of college but it will be used and may wait for the race model.

I don't know if the official MSRPs have been released yet, but they're going to be very close to the C5's price range.

Without the markup that most dealers will surely add :2guns:

[digitalcorvettes]

I'll have to see a black coupe or a Le Mans blue coupe in person before I would even consider the car.

We can't really tell anything about the car at this point by just looking at C6 pictures.

I would need to test drive the car w/Z51 and put it through the ringer. Then we'll see.

HMMMM....


I was just reading through these threads and I seen the exact same thing that this guy did last week In Teays Valley W.V. It was a vette with the C6 front end and had some weird ground effects with gold rims. On the back of the car on the right hand side in blue it said Lingenfelter twin turbo 650. I almost wrecked tryin to roll down my passenger side window while I was driving to get a better look!!! There was a Vert C5 following him and they went toward Huntington WV. They were both silver.

[DaveMcc]

I'm looking at getting a C6 Z06 at the earliest opportunity.
