GM's recent decision to re-offer employee pricing on all new vehicles brings the 505 HP Corvette Z06 down to an astonishing base price of $62,653. Normally, these type of incentives don't include high horsepower and halo cars, but according to the boys at Kicking Tires , GM will include both the 2008 Corvette and the Chevy's up-powered big brother, the 2008 Corvette Z06 , in their current deal. No matter how glowing of a review Wes gave it, with that heavy of a discount you'll maybe want to think twice about spending the money on the new 2009 Corvette ZR1 . galleryPost('2008CorvetteZ06Press', 6, 'A Worthy Champ'); The 638 HP 2009 Corvette ZR1's price of $103,000 (let's pretend for a moment vagaries such as dealer markup don't exist) has a cost per HP of $162. While not the best deal on price per HP, it's still a steal. But this pricing on the 2008 Corvette Z06 brings the cost per HP war to a whole new level — dropping the already amazingly...

Now that we've given you an opportunity to help us determine what I'll be driving to my high school reunion , we're interested in knowing what car you'd drive and why. Yes, we've asked this question once before , and got some great responses -- but in honor of this Turkey Day weekend, and my little soirée on Saturday -- we figure it's appropriate to ask it again. So talk to us this Black Friday and tell us what you'd be pulling up to the door driving.

I was the fat kid in high school. There, I said it -- I was what you'd call "unpopular" -- I'd never get invited to the parties, never got the date with the cheerleader and most certainly never drove the cool car. But all that pent-up pain and angst finally has the opportunity to release itself this Saturday with my high school reunion at Como's in Ferndale, MI. You see, a reunion's the perfect place to finally get one's comeuppance on the "cool kids" -- whether it's through losing weight, taking the cheerleader with you or driving a cool car. I'll be trying to do all three -- but for purposes of our loyal readers here at Jalopnik the a priori issue at hand is the car. And luckily, I happen to, as an auto journalist hack pundit blogger , have a decent number of options in front of me. I've narrowed my choices down to two diametrically opposite vehicles -- the Jeep JT concept and the new 2008 Corvette Z06. Now here's the fun part -...
