Looks nice and I like the hood and suspension but can't justify the price increase over what I paid for my 09.

Thoughts ???

Looks nice, but wonder why mimic the ZR1 hood bulge.

GTJim

To me it's like the GS version of the Z06 using select ZR1 parts.

Would like to see the inferno orange version.

Maybe I missed it, but did not see anything about pricing.

GTJim

Article says pricing will be given closer to the launch date.

Varmit

I'm sure the General is quite proud of it $$$$$$$$

I say 95ish at least since the brakes are almost 10k kinda cool i guess

Looks very cool... couldnt we do the same, in upgrades?

I could care less about the appearance package part of this, but the Z07 option with brakes/suspension is very interesting as it can be ordered on 2011 Z06's

Amazing that this upgrade will knock 3 seconds per lap from a 2010 Z06 (according to GM).......that's amazingly close to the ZR1 and down 130+hp to boot.

I agree. And, I wouldn't bet on getting one of those 500 factory carbons for less than $100k.

I like it.. but I agree with most. Buy a "normal" Z06 throw some Brembos on it. Some suspension, add a H/C pkg and go to town on this "Carbon" edition. And still have money to burn. of course this is my .02boost

SUPERSONIC BLUE

Damn ........

They need to take this car to the Nurburgring. The current 7:42 time was done on a 2006 Z06 with a standing start and the crappy Goodyears. The ZR1's 7:26.4 was done with a flying start as it should be. A 2011 with Z07 & CFZ should be well into the 7:30s if not better.

i wonder if supersonic blue replaces jetstream blue

Not liking the hood or the door decals... The rest looks decent though.

'06 Quicksilver Z06

Similar, but significantly limiting the numbers (500) and using specific colors for the actual Carbon versions of the car. There probably won't be very many of the "non carbon" versions of the car ordered with the optional goodies either.

grand sports are as common as hash marks on a football field.

Z06Norway

any words on weight savings ?
And i HOPE they have sense to offer a Michelin Pilot Cup tire as option, makes record setting soooo much more realistic.
There is no way Nurburgring records can be done without proper tires

I like that hood. I been wanting the ZR1 hood without the window. I wonder if the inside liner is carbon fiber?

AFVETTE

Interesting comment "ZR1 owners looking to swap out their hoods will be disappointed to learn that the Carbon hood will not fit their cars. Because of the absent window, the Z06 hood has different structure underneath that won't clear the ZR1 engine's intercooler."

Guess there are far more folks not happy with the Hot Wheels hood than we thought.

It's about time the Z06 received a freshening, but I was priced out of the market with the current Z06 so I'll just have to admire these if when I see one from afar.
