Beautiful color combo, that was my first choice when I was looking for mine. Only found one with that combo for sale in this region and they wanted close to $30k for it. Ended up with my 2nd favorite color at a much better price.

One thing to note.
When you take off rather slow or make slow turns, you may hear the "marbles in the can" sound from the read end. It is normal for the Z06 and nothing to worry about. Scares some new owners (ask me how I know?
)
You can get the type 2 anti slip fluid additive from GM dealer and that will help quieten it down. The type 2 has better lubrication properties and makes it a little quieter.
