Why wait for 2009? Buy a new Z06 and take it to LPE.

Yeah but this is 650hp stock, not to mention if it gets the stringray name it is an instant collectible.

You're trying to compare apples to monaros.

The difference is that this Vette will more than likely actually be deserving of the name. Pontiac just took a random car from Australia and stuck a historic name on it; I don't know why they thought people would just take it sitting down.

I'm trying to compare a word to a word.

Perfect. We're in agreement.

It will be an instant collectible much more because of what's under the hood (and in the chassis) than because of the name

"around the $100,000"

Why not just get a regular vette and mod it?

EDIT: Oh, people with to much money that think they are car guys.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but you don't have to mod your cars to be a car guy.

As long as they keep the weight distrbutation as good as it is on the Z06. Hopefully for 100k the hood and mirrors won't flap and there will be some leather on the inside.
