Default Seen a 2012 Centennial C6 yet???

I'm wondering how many 2012 Centennial Special Edition C6's will be built for 2012? According to the 2012 Corvette book, you can get the Centennial Edition option in a coupe, convertible or Grand Sport as long as you also order 3LT or 4LT. I haven't seen a Centennial C6 yet. Lot's of GS's, some Z06's and a few ZR1's.

The car is awesome! The paint is much better than I expected. I also consider the package price very fair considering what you get with it (suede inserts, F55 suspension carbon black paint, black wheels ZR1 spoiler, painted brake calipers, red interior stitching.) All this for just under five grand.

Hey Dawg,
The car looks great. Congrats.

Back to the OP's question, I've seen a standard C6 at Bowling Green in the Centennial Edition. Good looking car.

Would not get it in coupe form. That combo lends itself best to GS/Z06/ZR1 configurations IMO.

Looking at your location, I checked our records and saw we just completed a Callaway SC606 Grand Sport Corvette w/ the Centennial Package for your local dealer, Findlay Chevrolet (Off S. Torrey Pines, Las Vegas)

If you have a chance, drop by and check it out (it's in the process of being returned to the dealer) - it's an amazing car!

That's exactly why I did like it. I have been thinking about a GS Coupe for awhile and would have pulled the trigger on a JSB one, and the Centennial Edition flipped the switch. Once I saw it in person, it was a done deal.

Very much agree.

Cypher, that's the one. My dream car. Z06 Centennial 3LZ with Z07 Brembo carbon brakes, cup tires and lightweight cup wheels.

I will for sure drop by and take a look. Second thought, maybe I won't. Dayumn, that's a Beauty. Gotta be a Z06 for me though.

About the pic's of the C6 Centennial that Cypher posted.............. Nope, that doesn't work for a C6. Must have the wide fenders and tires.
