Something new

[GTSpartan]

Very nice.

Those are nasty machines. Everything on it is pretty damn stout and the car is quite light by today's standards.

Congrats & good luck with the new ride..

Perfect choice and fantastic color, IO is right up there with my favorite orange, DSOM.

And if you don’t mind me asking, what did you end up paying?

Hope you didn't pay the "today" prices for it. It's crazy right now.

I paid $74k. I know this sounds rich but I argue that this is cheap.

C6ZR1s and C7zs should trade right around the same level IMO. If anything I would argue C6ZR1s should trade rich to C7zs since there are far fewer of them. Also, I think that C6s will be looked back on as the last "real corvette." They are akin to C2s in this regard IMO.

C7zs trade $75k to $90k at the moment, whereas C6ZR1s are all clustered around $70-75k from what I have seen. Assuming you can find one, which is hard. The twist is that only 69 Infernal Oranges were produced and I do think that it should trade at a premium as it really is a special color. So I paid about what a nice C6ZR1 should trade at but got a special color. I already have a dealer that told me that they would buy it for $74k whenever I want to sell it FWIW. The last Infernal Orange that I saw trade was a full bolt on car with a 2650 that went for $98k on CorvetteForum.

You ensured a return on your investment when you picked that color. Well done.

I thought Klaus already had a Corvette...?

Gorgeous car Klaus!! I love those cars. So nice. I can only imagine how awesome the color looks in the sun.

Congrats and enjoy.
Keep us posted on the mods.

That’s a hell of a deal in my opinion. I would’ve thought low to mid $90k’s honestly. The market for these cars is fantastic right now. The day I started my search to buy one, there was an inferno car for sale with less than 10k miles for like $69k. It had chrome wheels on it and it was an ‘11 so I passed thinking I’d just buy the next one to pop up as I really wanted no chrome and a ‘12/13…6 months later I bought a ‘12 torch red one. Lol

Sick ride. Congrats.
Is whipple gonna do a GenV 3.0 for the C6??

 

[Klaus]

Kong parts are inbound. This is the one that I am most excited about. It is their blower lid done that comes with all sorts of enhanced cooling including a massive intercooler brick. The inlets and outlets are massive compared to the stock unit. If Kong is to be believed this alone is worth ~50 whp.

 

[gimmie11s]

Car is absolutely sick. Gonna be a beast.

C6 ZR1’s are unbelievable. Still a bucket list car for me.

Shit, I'd be more than happy with a c5z to play with.

Double post.

Hey Klaus, let me know when you feel like selling those comp grey OEMs. You ain’t gonna hook that kind of power on those 20s. Car is freakin gorgeous man!!!

 

[sonicx]

@Klaus were you at the cars & coffee last week in Medina? I saw a c6zrl in IO coupe there

Also think you did well on the price especially with the premium on sports cars here throughout 2021.

Agree.

The car looks great - congrats Klaus! Your Trump bets here on SVTP really paid off!

I totally see why you laughed. The irony!
