06 C6 potential buyers

[PARAGON]

Looks like GM might be coming up with a paddle shifter for the 06. No idea if it will be an option on the Z06 but apparently is going to be on the C6 with an auto. Notice the paddles in the little red blinky circles.

I just checked the Chevy site and they finally have the Z06 available.

Sorry, call me old school, but I just don't like the paddle shifters. I thought the SMG M3 was kind of sluggish off the line and the shifting was odd to me. My friend raves about the 360 F1, though, and says that with it any body can shift like Michael Schumacher. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


WTH Drty? I thought you liked paddles.

According to the GM website and edmunds.com there is a paddle shift option for the 2006 C6.
check out the standard/options.

You are most likely very much right. Fernando Alonso (Currently Renault) has just signed with McLaren starting 2007. I know Kimi doesn't have a deal with McLaren past 2006 season and he's definately going to sign with real contender.

btw, Kimi is building his own kick ass SUT (lift,SC etc etc)

Z06 looks hot!!!

our first one was a museum delivery, so it never touched our dealership

cant wait to drive the first one that comes in

[HummerH2]

There is not going to be a blue devil. it is just a conspiracy. they are working on something else

[HummerH2]

The Z06 is not yet available. If you want one you should put it on order because there is limited production and a sticker of around 70k for one thats fully loaded

With Michael as in part of the team or as in competition? I can't hardly watch F1 this year because of all of the handicapping that's gone on to help the poorer teams. F1 has always been the pinnacle of all racing... now it's barely better than Indy or NASCAR. Ecclestone is killing F1. Can't wait to see the teams start their own league after this contract is up. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

He reced back in the days, not reacently. I think that was in F3000 class. Agree with you all of the above, Ferrari has a deal with Ecclestone for too long though. However I have to give it to Raikkonen (McLaren). He has been way faster than anybody else this year. Too bad they got his equioment reliable enough too late.

I agree. I recently sold my blown C5 vert. For the first time, I will purchasing another convertible.The new black C6 Z06 is it.

And to make it that much more special, I too am going to do the museum delivery method. (plus a brick)

Hopefully this summer, I'll be ready.
