G'day MADLT1...I have been snooping on some of the "other" forums, trying to get all the info that I can on the 2007 Corvette C6. I ordered one, and should be getting it in the 1st week of September. I missed all you Dude's in the Land of Oz. I'll be lurking in the shadows....best regards to you mate, and all the gang...

Hi Jo and MADLT1,
I ordered the 2007 Coupe in Machine Silver,(really love black, but I'm tired of washing so often) with the Titanium leather interior, 6 speed with paddle shifter, Z-51 performance package, navigation, chrome wheels 18" front and 19" rear, both tops glass and painted, and the 3LT accessory group which contains all the little goodies. Retail price came to $57,885. They sold to me for 1K over invoice. It's scheduled to be built in the week of Aug. 21st, 2006..:22
The trade in on my '05 Coupe was $40,500. This is my 5th Corvette from this dealership.
Should look like this:

Hey MADLT1, I know, it seems so lopsided in the valuations of our money, and the car prices. I suppose it's one of the penalties of living in your beautiful country...I hope that some day soon GM fulfills their plan of making the Corvette with right hand drive, and installing GM dealerships in Australia, the prices would still be higher than in the States, but at least then there would be no high priced shipping, insurance, and conversions that the buyer would be responsible for. When I think of the inequity in these prices makes me want to, "go get 'em." :flower

An interesting article on "right hand Corvettes."...;42

lets hope bob lutz can do a big favour for australia and share the american dream ;46;46;46;46;46;46;46;46;46;46

The only way the dream can reach us if theres 400 to 500 corvettes allocated for the oz market each year then we might get our vettes at better pricing and designed RHD on their testing facilities.
It was a nice article and thanks for posting it.

After I get some mileage on her, and any early issues out of the way, I plan on having the Magnacharger SC option from Lingenfelter Performance Engineering installed...:evil

What is the red circle on the door panel?

Thanks for the hoot, Andy...;42
Thanks, Cam, the computer has an option feature in which you can set everything to show in English, or Metric units. Also will display everything in French, Japanese, Italian, German, Arabic, and English...;42
Thanks Jo, the red circle on the door panel is a warning light that comes on whenever you open the door...;42

Blower.....;)

G'day 69VETTE,
Thanks much for the congrats...nice to hear from you again!
I hope you realize that I certainly was not trying to make anyone feel envious with my pics, Cam asked me to post "Plenty of Pics" when the car came in, so that's what I did. I'm long past trying to beat my own drum. Hope you're feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed....best regards...;42

instead of the magna blower,why not go for a few of these?http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/corvette/c6.htm

Hey TRJ,
Don't get me wrong.. We know you wern't showing off or beating your own drum, and believe me when i say that we are all happy for you down here Thats a fact. :):{:)
When i said envious, its meant all in good faith, cause alot of us down under would love to own such a beautifull car, but only if it wern't so damn expensive with all those taxes, transfer fees and then conversion costs.
I'll just have to keep playing lotto alot more and keep my fingers crossed. ;27

Hey Nifty,
That Twin Turbo link of yours made my mouth water...:spook
however, there are rather large differences in a TT setup that will give you 750 HP at 9.5 lbs of boost (For approx. $44K additional) vs a SC setup that will give you 560 HP at 5.5 lbs of boost (For $10K, including the new hood.) First, the number of parts to install, the necessary "building" of the motor, the return to Stock would be very unlikely if it ever became necessary, and then there is the cost...;30 you could buy another "companion" C6 with the money.
Compare the installation of this::grr
(http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/corvette/layout_b.jpg)
...with the installation of the Maggie...:spook
(http://www.corvettevalley.com/gallery/data/500/Magnacharger_SC_.jpg)
The driveability and longevity, as I see it, are there with the SC....no turbo lag, immediate grunt off the line, and about $35K left in your bank account...:22 Thanks for the great link, nifty.

Hi Gang,
Just read an interesting article on the finance page of Comcast News...GM has just extended their "powertrain" warranty on all 2007 model cars to 5 years/100,000 miles.
This includes 900 motor, transmission, and driveline components! Obviously, I was very happy to get that news...:22
