I will have to wait until they come out with a Z06 C7. 450hp just doesn't cut it. Heres a good link with lots of info.

You do realize that the Z06 is the C6 'vette; and the 2014 Stingray is the C7.....

You mean they made the Vette fun to drive?

Unlesss I'm mistaken, the ZO6 is a variant of the C6, like my SRT is a version of the Charger. C6 just indicates that the car is a sixth generation Corvette, any model year from 2006 to present, while the ZO6 indicates a certain set of options like engine and suspension and tires, for instance.

The 6 in ZO6 dosent have any connection to the 6 in C6, it's a code going back to the 60s to indicate the highest performing variant in the Corvette line. So there could very well be a ZO6 2014 Corvette

No innovation, nothing new to see here..

Stealing other's ideas of design doesn't make a great NEW car.. just another marketing gimmick to get people to NEED to own the NEWEST model..

And the lemmings will be at their dealerships with their checkbooks open..

Exactly, the Z06 is usually not available the first year of any new generation of corvette. I expect to see it available in the 2015 or 16 model.

If your not having fun driving a vette then you must not be pushing it past 3K rpm. I can get to 60 in 3.3 seconds thats fun to me.

I have to admit that the performance numbers for Z1R and Z06 vettes are very good by any standard....Enzo's included. Very few production cars have 0-60 times like that and...and sub 12-second 1/4-mile times.

Sub 12? I'm talking about sub 11 right off the showroom floor.
