now THAT'S a car...

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!

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

.Very expensive and very little coverage.

No disrespect to you but Velocity Yellow looks a little pale,doesn't it?

How are your prices compared to MSRP?

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

(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

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