I do not like the fact that they are eliminating the competition gray wheels and adding black instead. The black painted wheel look is long past its prime and looks so aftermarket.

I was hoping they'd offer the cup wheels in Competition Gray for 2013. Boy did that thought backfire!

It's just an inside joke. You absolutely CANNOT get the LS7 engine in anything other than a Z06 or 427 convertible.

OK, ya got me. Top Fuel is leading 1 to nothing, top of the second.

I bet a few would pay the price though to have the LS7 in lets say a 1LT Base C6???

Nice to see that real black is available once again instead of that carbon flash oddity and you can get all black vette for the first time

Did I read this correct that to get the 60th Package, it is only avaiable with the 4LT Option on the Coupe, Convertible, and Grand Sport model?

I like the addition of black wheels but I don't like that they replace the comp gray option. Should've replaced chrome.
