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.

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!

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'.

I see Kerbeck ( largest Corvette dealer in the country ) is advertising for as low as:
 
$65,444.

They show 8 Z06s in stock & 6 more inbound....

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.

As for the Z06 being what GM wanted when they first built it, some folks that put in
their orders before release of the car waited for two years to get delivery at MSRP.
Then again, the ZR1 has just been announced and that is going to put some what
of a damper on it's lesser cousins.
 
The notes above about dealers having allocations is key, if they won't show you
what their allocation is and can explain it simply, they probably just don't know
enough to get you what you want.

Ride of my life...'08 Z06 by gbjerke

Up at Road America last weekend for a driving school and had the "blessing" of riding in above.
Observation: INSANE, OBSCENE....what else to say...., INCREDIBLE!!!I
I've attended schools for 11-12 years, driving Supra TT's, '01 Z06 and '03 Z06 and now an '08 coupe.
Anyway, I met this fellow a number of years ago when he drove a Zanardi NSX. He is an instructor and drives his cars extremely well. He traded his Zanardi for a Stradale maybe 2 years ago and he gave me a ride in that...WOW! He sold the Stradale a couple months ago and was really in the hunt for a GT3; even went to look at a couple of them but they were disappointing to him so he gravitated to the Z06. Bought it Wednesday night, left Friday a.m. with 80 miles on the clock and drove up to RA.
He is TOTALLY impressed with the Z06. I wanted a ride and got it. I just can't fathom the difference between my '03 w/ 405 ponies and his w/ 505. Sure, I expected more grunt and I knew the brakes were much improved w/ 6/4 pistons but damn, the car was so well balanced, all I could do was giggle and smile.
He didn't even have time to change brake fluid nor upgrade pads so it was bone stock. All weekend, no fade, and no spongy pedal.
I knew I'd be impressed but had no idea as to how much I would be impressed.
Truly, the ride of my life.
