A couple of weeks ago during the NY Auto show a few reviews came out about the new S5 that were pretty underwhelming. So I'm going to keep my Z06 for at least 1 more summer and see what happens next year.

Rock solid. It's a small block V8, they perfected those back in the 60's Z06 V8's (LS7's) are hand built in Bowling Green

I haven't had 1 day of problems with my vette, nor any recalls etc. I change the oil and put gas in it and then go drive.... fast...... very very fast

Yea, but that's only 32 hp out of the extra 2.2L. Another example of inefficient American automotive engineering. Anyone care to gander what the output of a BMW 6.2L V8 would be? I'll take the giant scalpel instead of the giant saw thank you very much.

Personal preference? Of course .

Wait until the Mods come out or the New Z06. I'm a big BMW fan having owned many and I currently own one with one on the way. I ask you this....what would a 6.2L BMW would cost at the showroom? I'm guessing Six Figures +.
