Got to ride in an '08 C6 ZO6 Today!!!

[70TWO NOVA]

I had the opportunity to ride in a brand new (not even sold yet) 2008 Corvette C6 ZO6 today and I do have to say that Iam EXTREMELY impressed. I also rode in the 2008 C6 LS3 (430 Horse which was also very impressive) earlier in the day. Man is it good to know someone at a Chevy dealership...wink, wink! Anyway, all im gonna say is we didnt exactly pu$$y-foot around in those things. Heres some pics of the ZO6 (new color for '08) next to my bros Nova:

That had to be a great day!! I've seen other pics of the new color, what are your thoughts? Too light? Or is it close to the 60's LeMans Blue?

Personally I think it looks to Girly in that color. At any rate a baddass car

Maybe a black one with some black wheels might fit my taste...I wouldnt know why either????

[Ummgawa]

Girly? Mohammed Ali in a dress can still kick ass.:D

[70TWO NOVA]

I liked the color it wasnt too light.

The color is JSB which is Jet Stream Blue. I looks much better in person. I agree, bang for the buck, it's hard to beat the C6Z in almost any category. :thumbsup:

Black on Black would probably fit my taste better too.

Of all the cars I have, my Z's are my favorite all around cars.. The blk one is under the knife right now, should be done by the end of the week. I will post the dyno sheets.. The red car is one of my track cars, it has coilovers, huge swaybars, solid bushings, 6 piston Brembos ect. I makes 571 rwh 513 rwt with cam, headers, intake and tune..

[olds87]

That had to be a good filing driving that car. You must have a grin on your face after dirving it. Man I wish I had a ride in one of those cars.

SW, man, what can I say. Awesome collection of cars.

Hey 72 Nova, what did you think of the TR-6060 six speed that was in the 08 C6 ZO6? I'm hearing good things about it. I wonder how long before we start seeing them trickle into the aftermarket.

I didnt actually drive it, but just riding in it the tranny felt very firm, according to my friend, the thing shifts like nothing he has ever felt.

[ZVT]

Is that color Nassau Blue or a variation of it?

That is my all time favorite color on a vette.:hail:

Looks pretty close to it.

[70TWO NOVA]

Its actually called Jet Stream Blue.

[steemin]

What is the sticker on the 08 Z06 and the C6/
Scott

[70TWO NOVA]

The blue one stickered for $78,000

[D Rock]

This place on corvetteforum is selling 08 C6 1LT for under 40k. Great price considering that they come with the LS3 now that has the L92 heads, add a cam and headers and it will be a fast car.

[70TWO NOVA]

Believe me , 08 C6 LS3 Vette is a fast car, i rode in one the same day as the ZO6. 430 horse... I was impressed, but for some reason the paddle shifters didnt work.

[JayR]

OMG, SW's black car looks so mean and nasty lowered on the big beautiful HREs! Well done! So sick....

I know they are pretty fast already, but 450 at the wheels isn't out of the question with cam, headers and a tune. For a 40k dollar car that is impressive.

The C^'s ZO6 or not are a great bang for the buck!
