Wow...


And probably not in the way that you might think...
He does have one, he is driving it. So let’s hope more of us can get lucky within a few years here. They do look and run well. Sure looks like it will tear up the road courses and embarrass a few if a guy can drive. Like I said before, I hope the insurance is not a big problem that prohibit some of us from making it happen. I am concerned.

If number 7 is built I would like to see one. I have always been more of a builder so for me I can build something for way less
There’s always the satisfaction of building something of your own. 👍

Yeah I dunno about the Demon sales. Maybe it's just owners swapping cars who knows but my personal experience with two has been less than stellar.
yeah from my experience low exposure/visibility sales never do that great.

You have to be a die hard Mopar fan to wanna go through all that to have a trophy to bubble wrap. I feel for those folks.

My buddy called me last night. He's an old school Mopar collector. Some dealer had him sold on a 2022 Jailbreak Indigo blue, white stripes, BM wheels, and Yellow brakes I think. $108K and he thought he was buying some limited edition car. I told him he's being taken for a sucker and to pass and go find a Black Ghost.

He's the same guy that bought the Demon and bubble wrapped it for 3 years and thought he was gonna make a fortune on the flip. He could barely sell it and ended up getting the original dealer he bought it from to buy it back from him. It had like 30 miles on it.
Now that's sad...it's not a Picasso :rolleyes:

EXTREMELY few Z06s have been built so far. May as well be limited editions...

I am #25 at an MSRP local delaaer. He told me it will be YEARS before my number is up, if ever, lol...
They also just hit the lots this month.
Takes time for these to start rolling.
Yes, those that have them now won the Z06 lottery and can make quite the $$$ if they flip them.
But if GM ever gets their shit together, they should be able to sell one to everyone who wants one. It is a Chevy afterall.

Just like these Hellcats are still Dodges. They start treating them like GT Porsche cars or Ferraris and they will royally screw their business plans.

I think my buddy's problem is he's stuck in the 1970 model mindset and times have changed. He's accustomed to going out and finding 1970 Mopars in barns or whatever, giving them a bath, and flipping them for twice what he paid for them. These modern cars just aren't gonna be like that I don't think.

I tried to help him sell his Demon on all the car forums, Ebay, everwhere so I dunno how folks are getting what people claim to be buying them for. Guy on the other forum just bought one for $125K though.

Anyway, I don't have a dog in that fight. You guys know my attitude about it. We had a Demon for auction at ChallengerFest sitting right there for the winning bid to take home and could barely get $105K for it. Cars are terrible investments unless you just wanna hand it down to your kids. We don't have any kids so I drive mine like the wheels are coming off LOL.

To me it's kinda like saving your hot wife for the next guy :ROFLMAO:
I drive the crap out of my cars, and all my other toys, my kids can deal with the smoldering ashes of what's left after I enjoy them! As far as the hot wife, when I'm done the next guy is gonna get what looks like a leftover 70 year old smoker they would be ashamed to take to Walmart! I'm gettin all the good stuff:cool::cool::cool::cool:

I sure hope it doesn't take me a couple years to "get lucky" I'm not a geeky teenager anymore!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Look you all said no Z06’s were on the road and all would be garage queens. I found one on the streets. That was for our entertainment and information about the FUCKIN CAR!!

Don’t mistake that to think I am a fan-boy of the owner! Anyone else, you go find one and send videos and pictures now.:coffee:

I dig the looks of the Z06. I always thought the wheels on the C8 were a little blah and needed some dish to them. Not sure it's worth $175K though? It is just a Chevy.

One of those other youtubers had a video of how Emilia and 2 others were given allocations from Chevy with priority builds
This kid had 1M+ subscribers.
Its cheap advertising for Chevy.
They buy the car and plaster multiple videos that get hundreds of thousands to millions of views.

All Chevy had to do was make sure the dealer didn't fuck them over when it came time for delivery.

Dodge loves mentioning youtube viewers in their press events. Same reason. Cheap advertising
