Coincidentally, I found myself on the Chevrolet website this afternoon building a C7 Z06 "just for fun."

It sure was fun window shopping until the build price was complete. Needless to say, I did not "ADD 1" to the shopping cart.

One day.

The order guide by necessity will spill all of the beans about the changes for '16, correct? Except for pricing, when can we expect that?

Flux capacitor. 88 mph will be top speed. There's a chance you could add a food processor to it and feed it leftovers. Will travel between time dimensions. The regular updates more or less...

Any word on new colors? Sometimes they stop some colors early, and introduce new ones.

It surprises me that the order guide has not leaked yet. You have to figure it's already been printed.

As long as the new 9 speed transmission overheats and the tires are cracked I'm IN!

It's believed that Velocity Yellow is out and that a new yellow is going to be announced. That's all I feel fairly confident about right now.

I liked the VY, but think a metallic yellow would rock!

A local dealer contacted me today and said 2016's won't be available until the fall. Is this just another dealer trying to move his current inventory and not knowing the facts? Or is the fall when the they will start arriving?

A I recall according to Dave at Kerbeck, production of the 16s starts in June. Delivery could be late August or early September. I guess you could say this is early fall but to me it's late summer. Lots of good driving weather in September and October in most areas of the US.
