Correct, no ones arguing with you on the speed of a/t's nowadays and we're happy to hear you love paddles shifters. But stay on topic young man, this is a 2015 z06 thread! :icon17::nutswinger:

Yea, mine too...:eek:

Oh no... not another Corvette thread!!! :stirthepot:

Better than our Z's. I get 16.9 mpg in my Z. I was getting 19+ mpg in my 08 C6 with a big nasty cam and head work. On the highway I would get 30 mpg, no BS.

So how does one not pay the dealer premium on a new Vette? I was going to call around to other dealerships, but the one nearest to me wants 10K over sticker. For the Z06, 25K.

I agree on the markup too. I wouldnt be surprised to see people pay that much over the base price.
The C6 Z could get 30mpg on the hwy, I hope this one does too. And thats the first vette that I actually like in yellow.

Maybe I'll start saving my pennies :icon14:

Wait a year?

The new Vette is on my short list. I'll probably never be able to get one, but one can dream right?

:yum:

Shop around. Sportscars trade hands fast and the demographic for this car has mega back problems - ie, the average buyer AINT part of the Fast n Furious generation.
There will be no shortage of Vette's and have not been for years.
Nice car it is. Worth a premium? Not at all. Its a fantastic production line car. Avail cars will in short order out number buyers. Plus get it 6month-1 yr old and let some other older cat with back problems eat the depreciation. Do not over pay - its a Vette not a Veyron.

16.9? damn.

i drive like a dickhead and minimal highways since i dont use them to get to work and i avg 19mpg.

premium........on a vette? i'm lost.

maybe to get the first Z06 lol

if you get a regular C7 there should be no mark up. i already am finding 14's with big discounts on them.

I'm getting 22.5mpg on my daily commute and 27 on the highway. I also drive on the Texas autobahn humming along 80 -95 mph too.

i kinda wish i had a highway drive to work. i would get a much higher MPG. mine is just regular roads with plenty of stop signs and redlights :shakes head:

best part is though one road is a backroad with twisties. makes the drive home everyday more enjoyable.

wow I only get 16.7 lol but still love every gallon I lose :eekdance:

i lied. i checked when just out for lunch. i am currently at a 18.8mpg avg and thats with no highway driving :shakes head:

My experience with the BMW and Chevy dealerships has helped me come to the decision to keep my Z and eventually mod the hell out of it. The M4 and Stingray are both intriguing cars, but the 370Z looks as good if not better than either, and I swear when I get into it after driving anything else it feels like a hovercraft (no resistance to the ground). In Colorado I think any car needs a little extra boost to make up for the altitude power loss.

I am going to come up with a wicked paint scheme for my baby :excited:
