Growing up I would rush down to our Chevy dealer to get new brochures. I would like to have something new, but can't afford the payments and insurance.

A guy stopped in yesterday in a Ferrari Calif. Special. Although 12 yrs.old, it did excite me some although not the most exotic of the brand.

Sold the '06 Z in '09, couldn't justify the storage fees in that economy. Yes we miss it.

As far as new truck, nope! My 2000 ford is still a baby with only 190k miles. For the first time in our adult lives we're debt free. No way i'll buy an $80k truck

Do I need to cut a check, or can I just bring cash?

Hope cash, because I have no idea where I have a checkbook.

Looks like Ciocca is sticking with MSRP as opposed to the others with $5K-$20K and more markups. Looks like they'll have a long waiting list.
A buddy sent me this:


"The day we have all been waiting for is finally here. Today (Tuesday, 10/26/21) is the reveal of the much-anticipated Corvette Z06, the first every mid-engine Z06.

Now that the reveal is here, Ciocca Corvette, the world’s largest Corvette dealership, is preparing to open our reservation list much like we did with the C8 Stingray. And, like the Stingray, we will be offering the C8 Z06 at MSRP to those on our reservation list.

Ciocca’s Z06 list will open on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, at 12:00 Noon eastern time. The instructions for how to get on the reservation list will be found at that time at:

https://www.cioccacorvette.com/reserve-your-z06.htm

Because of the anticipated high traffic at that time, we will not start reaching out to everyone on the list to give them their reservation number until Monday November 8, 2021. No reservation numbers will be given out before that date.

Because our sales team is currently occupied with delivering new, 2022 Stingrays that are rolling off the line, we ask that you do not call the showroom with any questions. If you have any questions, please email them to one of the following:

Dave Salvatore – [email protected]

Chris Fernandes – [email protected]

Dan Maida – [email protected]

If you are currently on our Stingray reservation list, you reservation IS NOT transferable to the Z06 list. You will need to send in a new reservation to get on the Z06 list. At that time, you can request a refund to come off the Stingray list should you wish to.

Thank you!

Ciocca Corvette

The World’s Largest Corvette Dealership"

I sure hope the front end styling is improved. Right now IMO kinda looks like an entry-level mid-engine car/kit-car from the front.
Oh, the C8 is not ugly... just for me a little disappointing in the styling dept. The tech is fantastic !





FYI, Emelia Hartford:

Most definitely. This is the swan song for ICE and an intro into electrification.
