You are in the Chevrolet Corvette Forum. Your Host is claires
Random question: Have non-Z06 C6 owners out there looked into getting red colored brake calipers (or I suppose the housing for the brake calipers?) I dig the red brakes on the Z06 and would like look on my C6 Z51 (mine is yellow -- I think it would be nice contrast). Anyone aware of a brake painting kit or something similar? I don't suppose messing too much with the brakes is a highly intelligent think to do.  And a btw., I finally crossed 500 miles. Decided to open up the engine a bit yesterday on the freeway. The car amazes me. Its just demonically fast. I merged onto a freeway and jotted over to the open left lane (CA freeways). Roared from 50-55 to 80-85 in what felt like an instant. It was effortless. And that was in 4th gear. I'm still babying my car too much to do it in 3rd.

Replying to: bolivar (Oct 01, 2006 9:46 pm) I just negotiated a deal for an ordered 2007 Coupe at a local dealer. My experience has been that the discount for an ordered car is often a bit less than for an in-stock C6. But the final number we agreed on was - the same as for their in-stock units... My impression is that Kerbeck has a rather rigid business model - so ( as stated above ) the only way to know for sure is to ask - and my opinion is that if you are that close, I'd ask in person - with checkbook open. YMMV. Good luck! - Ray '07 on order......... |

Replying to: printz (Oct 01, 2006 1:14 pm) I did not end up ordering from Kerbecks. I used their numbers to negotiate with a local dealer (Binghamton, NY area). In May of this year Kerbecks was doing $3,000 off Z51s w/o 3LT package and $4,000 off 3LTs. Those cars were on the lot. I was very pleased to get a local dealer to discount $4,000 off an order for an 07 (with 3LT). I did a lot of research and found Kerbecks and Maxies to have the best prices online. Since I bought mine it appears that Fitchners (sp?) will also deal seriously. In my opinion the best case scenario was to get a local dealer to match their discounts. Luckily I found one that did. Good luck when you do order! Extended warranty: I contacted Fitchner after input in this forum and found their prices to be great! I will buy it just before 12 months are up since the extended warranty is discounted in the first year of ownership of a new car but starts running months and mileage wise when you buy the extended warranty. This forum has been great! Ray, congrats on the new car order! You will love it! The colors will look great! The complements that I get on the car are daily. The neighborhood kids are in love with it (and so am I)! Brian PS. Now 1,150 miles on it. |

Thanks for the info.....When I know my garage is near completion i'll go too all my local dealers & see what they can do(NY, outside NYC) on pricing........I'm spending 50,000, will definitely try & get the best deal possible..... I went to college at Brockport, passed by Binghamton many times.......Do not think your vette will see the sunshine once December rolls around........ Take it easy |

I have been told that GM pricing on Vettes is hard to come by but depends on the dealership. Does anybody if it is possible?
