Are the pedals just plain black rubber or are they stainless steel like I have in my ZL-1?

Looks like aluminum or steel with rubber inserts.

Cool, one less aftermarket item to buy. That was the first thing I changed on my Z06. Snoopy dance.

Btw, the second thing was to replace the black exterior door pulls and spoiler with body color... now you have to pay for them NOT to be body color.

FWIW, I think Tadge has said the C7 throttle will be hinged / connected to the floor versus hinged up higher (closer to the dash) in C6. To improve heel & toe performance? I haven't seen too much discussion on this point. Thoughts?

Yes, I believe it is hinged from the floor. I have no thoughts about that until I drive it.

You are correct. I heard him say that also. Hinged at the bottom.

Yeah, I'm pumped. It's going to be a long few months to wait, I put off the C6 Z for two years but getting too old for that so order placed. As nice as the new interior is the aftermarket will always tempt us with more.
To me, the TR Z51 is almost perfect right down to the vents and butt. OK, maybe a front splitter, rims, more cf...
