Poll: How many plan to buy new C6 Z06
 

This will be my first post on this forum. Just out of curiousity . . .

Obviously, current ZR-1 (as well as many C5 Z06) owners are the most likely prospective customers to buy a new Z06. Let's try to find out how many of the membership are so inclined. Please vote and post (optionally) as to when and/or why you are going to buy or not.

Let's try to keep it "real", the question is WILL you buy, not do you WANT one? What this poll will try to determine is how many ZR-1 owners (past and present) have the financial resources to buy AND want this car.

ZR-1 Net Registry Poll: How many plan to buy a C6 Z06
 

I was lucky enough to get a ride in one of these during the Z06 Fest. A most impressive car! Definitely worth the asking price. Would walk away from both my 1990 ZR-1 and my 2002 Z06!

First, hello and welcome to the forum.

In answer to your question, I'd probably take the same tact I did with the ZR-1 when it came out. I drooled on it, but knew there was no way I was going to pay sticker price for one. So I waited until the prices came way down and now I am happy that I did. Sure, I missed out on years of pleasure, but I used the money I would have spent much more wisely. So if I do fall for the 06 Z06, it will be at least 4-5 years before I consider buying one.

:cheers:

No way for me. A toy that expensive doesn't make any financial sense for me. Though, I don't drool over them the way I drooled over ZR-1's and Callaways when they were new. I LOVED C4's, but merely am impressed by the stats of the Z06.

My ZR-1 is a dream car for me, regardless of power or speed (which thankfully it still has plenty of), that cost me less than the average new car.

The new Z06 is very impressive, though. And the wider body and superwide tires is very ZR-1esque. In fact, it's the first 'vette to have wider tires than the ZR-1 as introduced in the 1980's.

I will own one someday!
 

I said the same of the ZR-1 when I first read of them in 1990. got my 92 on 10-10-03. so in abt 20 years well maybe 10 i'll find a nice used one, till then I am happy with the KING!!!

Right now I believe I will get one - someday. But I am in the club that would not buy a first year model from GM. Not only are there too many problems the first year, but they always come out with something better the next year. Look at the FRC, the SSR, and the GTO for example. Not to mention the '97 C5 was a POS and the '05 C6 got off to a shaky start already with the crankshaft balancer bolts coming loose. I can wait!

IF I hit the lottery, then ABSOLUTELY!! Make it DSOM!! Until then, well, let's just say it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy y out of my price range.

I was planning on a Ferrari to replace the ZR1 when I wore it out, but after seeing the new car and specs, but not driving it, I have decided the new Z06 would be the replacement.

The problem with buying a new Z06 is that there is certain to be a huge dealer upcharge for the first year or two. I own a 04 Z06 and a 91 ZR-1 and wouldn't dump either car for a new Z06. I am very happy with both of these cars and will wait a while for the prices on the new Z06 to cool off.

Would like one but cant afford it
