Interesting that there is no video of the car breaking the 12's. This is definetly IMHO a low 13 sec car.

sweet, the link the guy has posted says it ran a 12.89 now... hrm they are fast, and remember this will be the SLOWEST vette you can buy!!!

They had one for sale at a dealer near my house. It was there 2 days and its sold aleady!!

Yep they are starting to ship them out. I live in Louisville which is like 1hr 30mins from the Bowling Green plant and saw a truckload of C6's on there way somewhere.

I saw a truckload in Houston today, it was sitting near the port.

I went down to the local dealer they had two. One red, one silver. Get this MSRP is 58k. Plus a 20k markup. Grand total 78k.

I liked the instrument cluster, that looked good, and the navigation instrument looks good. But it's fairly bland. I'm not a fan.

I am not a Chevy dude but that car has 400 stock hp and 400 stock tq and weighs less than my Mach1 did when it was stock. With a good driver and some nittos there is no reason that car cant do a 11.9-12.1, anybody turning 13.4's doesnt belong in the driverseat of such a fine car.

There's a dealer on Ebay that has 10 of them all buy it now for $57k... That's crazy.

That dealer is lying out his ass. You can go to the Chevy website yourself and see that MSRP of a coupe(which is the only style available) starts at around 44k. I'd love to see what "options" cost 15 thousand dollars:lol1: Just outta curiosity I priced it with all the luxo junk I wouldn't buy like XM radio and navigation, both colored roof panels, etc...and it came to 53k.

Sad thing is someone will buy em when you can go to any large volume dealer and pay not a cent over MSRP.

Wow guy still gas intransits in rear window **Mental note** do not buy used C6 hardtop, red, as owner probably beat it before car was even broke in.:dw:

 

[astippich]

Remember this is a new car and driver with no seat time, I'm sure it will run mid tohigh 12 with decent driver, broken in on factory tires.

 

[Ling_650vette]

No reason an average driver cant pull a high 12 outta the thing even on stockers w/ the window sticker still up

And anyone who pays 75k for a brand new C6 is retarded. Dealer here has 2 on order and they arent even 53k. Granted, you're getting a "brand new car" but god knows, thats insane!

that 1.98 wasnt his 60' was it, it looked to me like he had some good wheel spin and didnt get there too fast

 

[Big Casino]

I'd take it....lord knows I deserve it more than a guy that can only get 13.4 out of it......lol

Seriously though, its a sweet ass car.

 

[1 bad bullitt]

Well the 106 mph really does not impress me, my buddys all stock c5 runs 106 mph at the track.

 

[svtmadman]

A Red Z51 lasted less than a couple hours and the yellow made it to the afternoon,

 

[Rainman15]

They had this one on display at a local show a while back with a bunch of Z06's, but they wouldn't let us drive the c6. Had to settle for driving a black Z06 around the track.
