I was especially impressed when I read they had to anchor the front fenders down in the paint booth because the spray guns were blowing them off the stands!

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

I'm waiting for the automatic version...

Actually, at some point I think I will get one of the engines to put into our '01... I've already starting talking to my wife about it (it's her daily driver)... so far she isn't interested.

Got my VIN # yesterday and my transport trailer will be waiting for it in Buffalo, NY this Monday. Bill Wertheim, GM at Paddock Chevrolet, is the best Chevy dealer I've ever dealt with...bar none!

I have my Velocity Yellow on order but going to be a wait. However the cars are starting to come in. Click here. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...p;forum_id=100

By the way Sam, How is LBI these days? I spent my youth in Ship Bottom and worked as a teenager as a clammer in Tuckerton. Fours ago we moved from Medford to Fort Myers, FL.

I'd forgotten, but someone drove one to/from the Pure Stock Drags a couple weeks ago...can't remember the color, but I remember ogle-ing it on my trips from the ET booth, and Johnny Cat quizzed me about the LS7...

What ever happened to Millenium Yellow?I talked to some C-6 owners and they told me it's been scrapped for Velocity Yellow because of paint warranty issues.I know Millenium doesn't cover worth a s**t because I recently painted my '69 Z/28 that color and it was a major pain in the you know what https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif.Very expensive and very little coverage.

No disrespect to you but Velocity Yellow looks a little pale,doesn't it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

How are your prices compared to MSRP?

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

I spent hours at Corvettes @ Carlisle this year pouring over the Z06 and it is much better looking in person than it is in the pics. I love the car in Silver or Black and plan on getting one just as soon as the feeding frenzy is done. I will likely have to get one that is lightly used due to the differential in pricing in Canada (about $15,000 more than in the US for the same car!), so you guys who are getting them...take good care and give me a shout in 6 months if you get bored with it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif (the car has to be 6 months old for me to import it into Canada).

I also heard the car run down in Carlisle and it sounds wicked once the baffles open up. I met Will Cooksey, the Corvette Plant Manager, in the parking lot of the hotel and he gave me a quick intro to the Z06 he was driving https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

And yes, Velocity Yellow is more "pale" than Millenium Yellow but I like it better...

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

I too saw it at Corvettes @ Carlisle this year. Wonderful car. I didn't get to hear the open baffles, but I can imagine how sweet it sounded https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

Here is the picture of the Z06 take at Carlisle.

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

Here is a picture of the engine.

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

My favorite was the body-off... I only got one picture because of all the people around it...

If anybody wants a zoom in of any part of this picture, just ask... the original is pretty high res.

Great picture and I would agree...the car probably looks much better in person than in the pictures I've seen.

Still not sold on Velocity Yellow though... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

I will agree that the C6 Corvette isn't for everbody. Personally, I like it.

I remember when the C5 came out... I didn't like it at all... thought it looked like a Fat Bottomed Girl... but then I grew to like it a lot, until we finally bought an '01 in '00. We'll probably end up getting a C6 as well, but this time around it will be used... don't think I'll ever buy another brand-new car, the hit just isn't worth it to me.

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

When you see the base C6 beside the Z06, it becomes obvious that the Z06 is how the car "should" look. It's a shame that they didn't offer the Z06 body with the base car as I think it would have greatly improved the reception the car received. I just can't get used to the wide wheel lip openings on the base C6 body...the flared fenders and small wheel lips are much more appealing.

I agree with your comments on the C5 also - I hated the car when it first came out. However, I fel in love with the lines of the C5 Z06 just as soon as I saw it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

I'm told that mine is completed and awaiting transportation at the Bowling Green plant.

A supplier related parts issue required the first couple hundred Z06s to be shipped off site to have the replacement parts installed. This has REALLY screwed up shipping from what I am told. Still, the supplier issue has long since been resolved and the cars are starting to be shipped now... Shouldn't be too long.

From everything that I have heard, it should be one heck of a car!

A transporter huh?..Hey I know this guy Jimmy and he really loves jacking trucks and he's really good at it, so good that the drivers just hand over the keys, "You might think you know who we are but WE KNOW who you are, understand...Here's a couple hundred bucks, now go take a walk" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

My Z06 is on order at MSRP. However, when shopping I was quoted as high as $20,000 over MSRP. I would never do that.

Now THAT looks exciting https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif...too bad the car is so darn ugly!

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

And I don't see an LS7

May taste like chicken but it sure looks like pigeon...You could put a blown hemi in that and I still wouldnt want one.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

3 weeks ago at the Pavillions Car Show in Scottsdale a Black C6/Z06 slithered onto the premises. An escapee from the AZ Proving Grounds. Impressive lines, intimidating color. Wicked hind end. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

I could swear there was a black rear valance on the yellow cars I saw on the transporter...

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

the black part was the top radius edge of your steering wheel https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

Way too funny, Steve... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

DAMN Bruce! Can't I get ANYTHING over on you. I was tempted to ask if you had shots of it, but thot to myself 'naw too remote'.

Unbelievable! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

The fanny shot is my favorite - very wide and squatty. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

My pleasure Sam...actually I took those pictures when it first showed up on the 4th of July... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

They actually do have a dark shadow gray/black exhaust tip and reverse lights valence.

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?

Maybe it's just me but that 2nd pic seems to have an awful lot of orange peel (above the plate) for an 85K car.

Those things are so brutal that they could be rattle can grey primer though...fun. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Z06 Vette, Anyone get theirs yet?
 

Orange peel? .... Big 3 paint job? Can you say "redundant "? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif
