Default Spotted 3 ZO6 test cars this morning!

I was down in Cambridge, Ohio picking up a Corvette. I walked out into the back parking lot of the hotel where I was staying this morning and was surprised to see 3 ZO6's parked there! There was a Night Race Blue, Shark Gray, and Laguna Blue one. I was talking to the engineer who was driving one of them and he was working on the suspension components of it. He said that there are a lot of nice roads they like to test on in that part of Ohio. After getting my first look at the new ZO6 in person, you can just see how special of a Corvette it is and the pictures do not do it justice!

Matt,

The interior photo you took. Did it look something like this?
Was it two tone with seats a gray color and trim dark gray/black?
OR was it all one color... dark gray?

So I guess the Euro Zs don't have clear rear lenses.

It was the all gray standard seats, not the competition seats with the sueded seat inserts in the photo you added.

Cool.

Working on the suspension component...I hope they work on lowering them, because they look really high.
