2007 Corvette Z06 Gets a Price Hike, New Color

I love special colors for cars. It’s great, every time a new color comes out exclusive to a certain car, I want it. It always adds to the exclusivity of the car, and since it’s made for that car, it almost always looks great. Let’s take the 2007 Corvette Z06 for example; it’s newest color is called Atomic Orange Metallic (or School Bus Orange.) It looks hot, and I would not get the car in any other color. Although that Candy Apple Red looks great too.

That’s not the only thing you get with the new Vette though, you have the privilege of paying $4,300 more for it, bringing the price to $70,000. Why? Bigger glove box, improved interior acoustics, and an OnStar option (isn’t that normal in a GM?) Haha, no really GM, why? Hmm…makes me think GM just wanted an excuse to jack up the price due to high demand. See, I would have excepted that one. Ever been in a Corvette? It has to be one of the most boring sports car interiors ever! I guess I can’t blame them for the hike too much; the new Z06 is the fastest and coolest Vette yet. Check out some quick specs:

Engine: 7.0 Liter V-8
Power: 505 HP
Torque: 475 lbs-ft
P/W Ratio: 6.2 LB/HP
0-60: 3.7 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.6 seconds
Top speed: 198mph
Weight: 3130lbs
