Replying to: alenatasevich1 (Feb 14, 2006 9:36 am) For sure no surprise!! I do not think that MONSTER 505 hp engine has even hit the aftermarket. In fact I think the emphasis will be to provide the Z06 assembly line with engines so it does not fall behind in production. Best of luck to you!!

Replying to: alenatasevich1 (Feb 14, 2006 9:36 am) This same discussion is duplicated (triplicated?) in 3 different topics and at this point, it's off-topic here.   Those who'd like to continue discussing GM's policies/practices, customer service, and warranty issues will find plenty of takers in the News & Views and Smart Shopper Forums.   Drive on over and see me!

I found a 2005 coupe 6 speed LT1 package with a single removable top. The dealer is asking $42500.00 for the car with 4250k miles on it. Edmunds says $36000 trade in and 41500 dealer, what do you guys think? Replies to this message: tsy (Feb 15, 2006 5:10 pm) jmess (Feb 15, 2006 10:22 pm) starrow68 (Feb 18, 2006 2:25 pm)

Replying to: motorhead1 (Feb 15, 2006 4:46 am) I went by my dealership a 2 weeks ago and they had $5000 off stickers on their '05 Vettes. They had a lot full of them, so my guess is you could do quite a bit better.   Good luck   tom

Replying to: motorhead1 (Feb 15, 2006 4:46 am) If it is a base car with no options then the starting price is what you can find heavily optioned C6s for on E Bay and some of the Corvette Forums.   BTW, MSRP for a 06 6-speed with no other options is $44,490; you should be able to negotiate the price down from there.   The asking price is a high ball price so offer them a low ball prices if you like the car and let the games begin. You could also ask for a 7 year GM extended warranty to be included at some point if you plan on keeping it longer than the warranty will last.   Be sure and shop the internet dealers so you know what the going rate for the GM extended warranty is. Note also if the cars is over 12 months old the GM extend warranty is about double what it costs to purchase within the first 12 months. Fitchner Chevy in Montana has some of the best GM warranty prices. Replies to this message: starrow68 (Feb 18, 2006 2:25 pm)

Replying to: jmess (Feb 15, 2006 10:22 pm) I'm with jmess, you have to get the original sticker and know what options are on the car to make sense of the price. I think the spread on options is about $7k so it can add 15%+ to the car, or not. The original '05's were selling with no discounts but the '06's are selling with discount, especially the coupe, which is going to result in more depreciation, or the ability to get a new one for a similar price.
#1418 of 1902 A little research in order ... by starrow68 Mar 05, 2006 (1:54 pm)
The following statement is from the article below about the new Ferrari, too bad it isn't true as the Vette has had Mag suspension since I think '04.   This is the very first time the SCM (Magnetorheological Suspension Control) suspension has been used on a high performance sports car.

Replying to: starrow68 (Mar 05, 2006 1:54 pm) The first time mag shocks have been used on a car that will cost 5 times more than a Corvette.
#1420 of 1902 Corvette Rattles? by gord1 Mar 07, 2006 (12:36 pm)
I am considering the purchase of a new 2006 or next years 2007 corvette convertible.   I am also considering the BMW M Roadster and the Porsche 911.   I am 55 years old and plan to keep the car for 15 years plus.   I was told by a dealer for one of the cars I am looking at the corvettes, even the new ones, have a lot of rattles.   I understand the corvette is probably the best value/performance package, especially compared to the Porsche, but I really don't want to listen to rattles. While the Porsche is much more money, given that I plan to keep it for many years, I am willing to pay up if needed to get the best car. I am however, a little concerned about higher potential maintenance costs on the Porsche.   Does anyone have any thoughts able the relative quality of these cars, long-term reliabilty and rattles?   Thanks Replies to this message: jmess (Mar 07, 2006 8:43 pm) gord1 (Mar 08, 2006 6:20 am) gbjerke (Mar 08, 2006 7:39 am) c3456ron (Mar 18, 2006 5:46 am) tsy (Mar 08, 2006 9:13 pm) skip000 (Mar 10, 2006 10:38 am)
