Can we get a detailed explanation of the new key unit?

Pictures?

What is necessary for the upgraded audio (U3U) if not ordering NAV? (3lt? 2lt? additional option)
Is the U3U a stand alone option on 1lt or 2lt?
What does U3U come with?

Thanks for the info.

So if you're going to order a new car, when is the break point from 06 to 07 ? I'm ready now, but if its only a couple of weeks for the 07 then why not wait.

All that means is that, if you want the 3LT package, they shove the power top in there to boost profits whether you want it or not! Same thing they did with XM radio on the '06. They're taking the choice away form you,-----again!

Two-tone seats is an option I would have purchased on the '06. Good idea, IMO.

Default Increased power?

Are there any torque or horsepower increases for 07?

Hi Ken - Thanks for posting the info.


A couple of questions:

1) can you describe the 2 tone interior for us? Is the titanium 2 tones of titanium? Or titanium and black?

2) Can you post a photo of the current orange and the new orange side by side?

Very cool stuff.. I hate to admit I miss the steering wheel audio controls when I drive my C5. Our other two cars have them....

The other items are nice too... thanks for the info!

Default saw the first 2007 zo6 get built

I was just at the bowling green plant on Fri. The first 07 ZO6 in the new orbit orange went thru the line. I like the old orange better but that is just my opinion. I guess they will make a few to test. It was finished about 3 oclock on Fri.

And I miss the cruise control on the steering wheel when I drive my C5. My Mustang has it....

If there was a "cruise control on steering wheel" option, I would go for it. Radio controls on the steering wheel? No thank you! My Trans Am had that, and those days are gone by and forgotten. Not anything I would want back, really...
