I'm sure he bought an '08 off the lot to take advantage of GM's employee pricing currently in effect. (Don't know from how many/few colors he even got to choose.) Here are the details:

Customers can get employee (GMS) pricing at participating dealers on virtually all remaining 2008 model year GM vehicles in stock. The only 2009 model year vehicles eligible for employee pricing are the Chevrolet Cobalt and HHR, Pontiac Vibe and G5 and Cadillac CTS.

Special stickers will be in vehicle windows at participating dealerships that show the bottom-line price customers will pay, taking into account the employee (GMS) price and all applicable incentives and rebate offers.

NOTE: Excludes: 2008 MY medium-duty trucks and most 2009 MY vehicles.

Nice pricing on the 'vette, too, according to Chevrolet.com:

2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - 3LZ
MSRP: $78,670.00
Employee Price: $67,888.88 < your price is the same

2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe - 1LT
MSRP: $46,950.00
Employee Price: $40,876.50 < your price is the same

Now I figured I'm covered, even if Chevy can't give me a 500+hp Camaro which I have am sure they ultimately will. The 400+SS will do fine for the Wife when it arrives in the spring.

As a side note, I don't have to hear the jabs anymore about me driving a Nissan Titan.....

i omg its hot

auto or manual? i bet its a blast to drive

[headpunter]

z06's only come in a M6

[TAG UR IT]

DAY YUM!!!!! Beaaaaautiful!

[GTAHVIT]

I'm so jealous.

I wan't a Vette so bad.. but a Z06!!! NOICE

I'm gonna need the back seats for a while longer. But some day I'll get one.

They actually had an 09 on the showroom floor, same color with new wheels, (personally i don't like as much as the 08'). Pretty much the same car, but with bluetooth capabilities and other small improvements. The problem was this car was about 3k cheaper and we financed at 0%. If 0% would have been available on the 09, I would have went with it.

Thanks to all for the kind remarks. The universal theme from people that I talk to especially Corvette owners tell me "I am going to have a blast driving that car". And I have to agree. One guy who's owned several Corvettes was taken back when I told him this was my first Corvette! His response was "And you went straight to a Z06!!!"

Ha....Go big or go home!

Its amazing what 500+ HP in a 3200 lb car can do.

so then....... whats your address and where do you keep the keys....
j/k. beatiful car man. soooooo sexy.

[Chevyrocker]

Congrats dude...I am fortunate enought to drive them all the time and I can say from experience that there is nothing better for the money. Take it easy on her for the first 1,000 miles cause you can twist out the rear end very easily. And good call on the jetstream blue...not everyone digs that color, but I think it's sweet.

Well the cool thing is there is no key. Only a FOB. It stays in my pocket. As I approach the car it unlocks. As long as the FOB is inside the car it will start via push button on dash. When I walk away from the car it automatically locks.

I'm definitely loving it. Still awaiting the Camaro for the wife.

[gunslinger]

I didn't even read all the posts, but....


That car is badass!!!!

Bang-for-buck, the ZO6 wins hands down!!

If I didn't have such an emotional attachment to the Camaro(my first performance car), I would already be saving for a new ZO6 (or used by time I graduate and have the money)...
