Is it worth the $65+ K Chevrolet is asking?
 
Especially when compared to '05 Z06?

It will be worth it to many but do your own analysis. What is more important, $ or HP? What are the other factors that you consider top of the heap? You get 100hp or 25 % more for just under $15-$18k more dollars, say 30% more $, but you also get dry sump and amazing brakes, lighter weight, etc. My issue as noted elsewhere is I don't think everyone who buys one will really be able to truely handle it. The car should come with driving lessons ...
   Now maybe if they did that I might go for it!

Many are already suggesting the market at least at first will pay well over MSRP.
 
So yeah: to the people who want a super car, it is worth the asking price.

I am considering a 2005 C6 and I would like to know whether anyone can recommend a Washington, D.C.-area dealer. It seems as if very few Chevrolet dealers sell Corvettes. Thanks.

Not local, but maybe close by starrow68

Try http://www.kerbeck.com/ as they are the largest Corvette dealer in the
country if you can believe the advertising. I get to them through Corvette Forum
but I think you would find them easy even with Google. I don't know if there
are discounts through the Forum. Good luck, wish I could justify unloading
my C5 with only 43k miles.
   I was at the track over the weekend and rode in a C6 with Z51, 6sp and it was
a very settled ride even hitting 100's several places on the track. It does hold
the road better than my Z51 C5 and better power is noticable but just not the
most economic deal to turn over what I already have. Enjoy the ride and don't
forget to wave.

I just bought my 05 C6 from Criswell Chevrolet, Gaitherburg MD. I bypassed several dealership to get my car but I got a good deal. Ken Dixon in Waldorf sells them also but their allocation is low. Hope this helps.

Thank you. Did you happen to run into a dealer markup called "ADM"? I just visited Koons Chevrolet in Tysons Corner and all of the coupes had a $5000 ADM and all of the convertibles had a $7,500 ADM. This was in addition to the MSRP. I was told that it was the local area dealer mark up and that everyone does it. I'm sure this is not true. Any insight? Thanks.

Check out corvetteforum. There are several dealers on the east coast that have 05 C6s in stock or inbound and are offering $3K-$4K off MSRP.
 
There are a ton of new and used C6s forsale on ebay also.
 
No reason to get jacked around by the ADM game. Just take your business somewhere else.

No, I didn't pay any markup. I placed my order with the dealership in mid-May and worked a deal for $2,500 off MSRP. My car arrived on August 1st. I had another dealer on standback (but in Georgia, Maxie Price) who agreed to give me $2,000 off MSRP. I wouldn't pay anything over MSRP if I were you. The problem I think you might have now is that no more orders can be placed for 05 corvettes; so if they don't already have them to sell then they are putting premimums on the ones they do have. Either way, I wouldn't play anything over MSRP.
 
Also, CARMAX has several used C6 05 for 3 - 5k below MSRP if you want to go that route.
