Oh, the good old days when cigarettes cost five bucks, gas was $3.00 a gallon and the Corvette Z06 was $65,690. They passed quicker than Lindsay Lohan's born-again virginity. These days, or at least the days to come, will see a price increase for the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 of $4,310, to a cool $70,000. All that extra cash goes toward optional OnStar, better damping of outside noise and a new color (pictured) called Atomic Orange Metallic. Can't blame Chevrolet for getting what a bargain the Z06 was and wanting a bigger piece of the action, no?
