My dads new toy....

My dad picked this up last week and I had to snatch it to take it for a spin. All i can say is INSANITY. Its beyond fast. After driving it my M feels like a Honda in the performance department...literally. I thought my M sounded good.....This thing sounds like a dammn fighter jet. I really like corvettes but I would never buy one. After driving this i would buy it in a heartbeat.

Thanks to James Cadet for taking these pictures as usual.You can check out his work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/j_a_cadet/

Gorgeous car man!

Mind if I ask what kind of discounts (if any) they are offering? MSRP vs. OTD price?

You mean premiums? About 15k over MSRP is the going price right now

^. Yep. It is blue and pretty smokn'.

One pic is the car pulling a slight wheel stand.......




j/k.

15 over....
When I tried to find "yall" one for sticker with no luck.... the guy here is badgering my email to death. He is willing to do 8 over on an order unit. FYI if pops wants to buy you one.

Grats!

I will be happy enough to grab a Z06. The prices are plummeting weekly. 20 off is the best yet.

Fucking I.T., they are always messing with shit. Thanks, looks nice. Whether GM goes belly up or if they restructure, we won't be seeing to many cars like this in the future. It's a keeper!

I would drive one in any color but pink.

The blue is sweet no doubt. My fave is cyber gray.
