    Z06

    Congrats, it will make the winters go slower and the summers go faster, but it will be well worth it...

    signed a deal..

    Wayne is in Winnipeg, no one goes out willing in the winter to push a car, you will be doing it enough times unwillingly.. ;-)

    At 2K for a new battery, CF wheels, exhaust, headers, etc. it sounds like at least one part of you is going to be a lot lighter by spring... ;-)

    3 Z06's on the 401

    Strange, we just received a C7 this morning, and it was on a truck with 2 other C7's, but it was not a Z06... Didn't look at the others..

    GM Canada Stingray & Z06 configurator showing a $664 credit

    It can be relied on to NOT be available on a 2016 model, for sure. GM Canada has simply set up their pricing system to reflect all currently available incentives for immediate delivery, as opposed to attempting to guess when you are planning/expecting to get the car. These incentives ARE...

    GM Canada Stingray & Z06 configurator showing a $664 credit

    Right, as I said, the credit is only good if you order AND take delivery of a 2015 model, which is pretty much impossible on a Z06 if you haven't already ordered it. Regular Vette, probably tough, also, but not totally impossible maybe... The system is simply designed to apply the existing GM...

    signed a deal..

    Awesome car, congratulations. Given that you wanted a manual, even the upgraded 2015 transmission isn't relevant, so unless you planned on doing surveillance with the data recorder, you are good to go! ;-) Happy New Year!

    GM Canada Stingray & Z06 configurator showing a $664 credit

    Funny enough, it is actually marketing, nothing else. The "Holiday Bonus" is the exact same program that existed for the previous 4 months, referred to as GM Owner Loyalty, same parameters, same dollar values. The deal to buy at this time of year is exactly the same as it was in November, or...

    2015 Z06 loses power on track

    To be clear, you are suggesting that an ECU can be programmed to manage engine parameters automatically, to allow it to adjust to the octane level of the fuel in the tank on a real time basis, but that it can't be programmed to modify engine parameters based on a pre determined odometer reading...

    GM Canada Stingray & Z06 configurator showing a $664 credit

    I am enjoying the responses so far, but the reality is that there is a $750 Holiday Bonus available to anyone ordering and taking delivery of a 2015 Chevrolet, GMC or Buick, who makes the purchase during the month of December. This is the same as the GM Loyalty offer that was in place prior to...

    C7 Z51 Allocation Nightmare - any suggestions except to wait

    Firstly, get what you want, not what is fastest. It will end up being more expensive, as you will find yourself eying something else if you aren't happy. Secondly, because you have already traded your cars, you would lose any tax savings if you moved to another dealer. Thirdly, if your...

    NEW CND '14 Premier Vert - Windsor ON

    Actually, the interior of a Premiere Edition is brownstone, not Kalahari. The roof is Kalahari... Also, the Premiere Edition only came as an automatic, this is a manual. This is just a green vert Z51. No luggage!!! ;-) Darryl

    2015 Z06 "dismal" fuel mileage projections...

    Right you are, BUT, Canadian window stickers still list both, and if you switch your gauges to from metric, some cars take it to US gallons, and some to Imperial, hence the explanation of the difference. I have had people complaining that their cars don't get the MPG that the window sticker...

    2015 Z06 "dismal" fuel mileage projections...

    A Canadian gallon(actually an Imperial gallon) is much like Canadian beer, Americans think it is the same, but ours holds more of the stuff with the kick... 3.78 Liters to a US gallon, 4.55 in an Imperial gallon, so 1.2 times the size...

    I know, but you would be amazed how many people don't realize the difference... :canada:
