I believe those are the BBS wheels made special for the P&M cars.

As for the car itself, no thanks. First, the whole point of P&M making the C6RS was to create a near ALMS car for the street. A vert, while quite nice, is not a race car (street or otherwise). It isn't as stiff, it isn't as aerodynamic, and it isn't as structurally sound as a coupe. Nothing against verts, but they ain't an ALMS car. Second, like others, I think this one is too "ricey" for my tastes.

The C6RS vert is pretty low and wide. I had a chance to drive the car at Sebring last month. Ladies and Gentlemen it is the ultimate cruiser. The car has an automatic trans so you just sit back and put your right foot to whatever depth you felt comfortable. It has the same major torque as the coupe and the ride is surprisingly very smooth; much smoother than the standard C6, Porsche turbo or BMW Z8 as comarpisons. I personally liked the 6-speed better, shifitng was quicker and I just like the control of doing it myself. Gear shifting the auto is too slow for my likes.

Jim Miller took his vert Sebring to Naples and back and recorded 20.4MPH, pretty good considering the tempations always present.

Top down is not for everyone, but if you like cruising, wind in your hair, and major torque as the companion this ride is hard to beat.
