#201 of 221 Re: 11.5 at 127 mph in the 1/4 mile [leecronusmille] by starrow68 Apr 11, 2007 (8:48 am)
Replying to: leecronusmille (Apr 10, 2007 11:00 am) Comp mode in a C5/6 is a big help, once you learn throttle control . I think my first pass was in the mid 15 sec's area as I spun the wheels in three gears off the line in comp mode. Then again, having the engine bog would probably be slower, but not by much .

Replying to: starrow68 (Apr 11, 2007 8:48 am) I was an old 1/4 mile junkie. IMO, if you want the best times, tires are the key. If you are serious with the sport, get dedicated race slicks. I'd be interested to see the improvement this one change would make with your experience added in. Low 11's should be obtainable. That would be awesome!   Have fun! It's good to hear your results and experiences.   I don't have one yet, but it's brewing!   Regards, OW
#203 of 221 Blue Devil? by jpstax1 Apr 17, 2007 (3:58 pm)
Is this the famous "Blue Devil" car that got Chevy's execs upset when someone posted unauthorized photos on the Net?   http://www.motortrend.com/av/features/112_0704_2007_chevrolet_corvette_z06_dyno/- -

How long does it take to get an ordered Z06? I've heard it's only 4 weeks. And are ONLY the high volume Chevrolet Vette dealers allowed to order these special Vette's? My local Chevy dealer says he can not order one. Why not? He wouldn't answer me.
#206 of 221 ordering... by rayainsw Jan 22, 2008 (12:50 pm)
Not an expert on Z06 - so others may know more specifics:   A small, low volume dealer may not have an allocation. If the dealer DOES have an allocation, given the fact that Z06s are not quite the "hot commodity" they were initially, I'd guess you would be looking at 4 - 6 weeks.   In Fall of 2006, I ordered a 2007 Coupe ( not a Z06 ) from a very high volume Corvette Dealer and it arrived in exactly 5 weeks.   YMMV.   Good luck! - Ray Replies to this message: kgabehurt (Jan 22, 2008 9:32 pm) rayainsw (Jan 23, 2008 6:19 am) kgabehurt (Jan 23, 2008 6:56 pm) and 1 more... starrow68 (Jan 25, 2008 2:08 pm)

Replying to: rayainsw (Jan 22, 2008 12:50 pm) Thanks much for posting your experiences. So the Z06 isn't the "gotta have" toy GM anticipated when they built this Vette? That sounds right because CarMax had a $77K new 08' Z06. Asking $69K+. I think they were getting sticker on these units in 06'.

Replying to: kgabehurt (Jan 22, 2008 9:32 pm) I see Kerbeck ( largest Corvette dealer in the country ) is advertising for as low as:   $65,444.   http://www.kerbeck.com/kerbeck/kerbeck.nsf/corvette_special_offers   They show 8 Z06s in stock & 6 more inbound....

Replying to: kgabehurt (Jan 23, 2008 6:56 pm) The more I look the more I find deals like the following: New 08' Z06, sticker $76,040, asking $67,500. By far the best price I've seen. UNDER invoice. Compliments of Ebay.
