Fans of muscle cars should hope that GM keeps something in the market, in whatever form. The Z06 is a knockout. Stunning performance in a daily-driver package. Great feat of engineering.

Production starts next year.
But even so, I'd bet money the Corvette will remain the better choice for people who have to use the car normally, at least some of the time. I have no sense that GM will ax the 'Vette.
