Are those the wheels that come on the Atlantic edition? I would have thought you would have gotten the Z51 wheels. They look like the accessory torque directional wheel.

The Atlantic is a few noches above the standard Z51. Inbetween Z51 and Z06 option wise. Check out the Chevy build your own for all the features.

That depends on how you define your notches. Last I checked it simply adds the following:

- Front Z06-style splitter
- Shark Gray exterior vents, hood “stinger” graphic and tonneau inserts
- Chrome Torque wheels with Stingray center caps
- Stingray underhood liner and floor mats
- Custom splash guards, rear license plate frame and logo valve stem caps
- Custom luggage.

It'll be interesting to see how "custom" the luggage and splash guards are. I prefer my custom touches, as does everyone w/ their own.

Why even bother making it for 2015. In less than 3 months they will start with 2016. I don't understand The stupid crap they do! Besides looks like a waste of money to me.

I like the car, just wouldn't pay the premium for that package.

So....
No bigger brakes
No enhanced suspension
No dry sump oil system
No MSRC
No ELSD
No PTM


I fail to see this model as "a few notches" above a z51. Or does it have all of the above items?

EDIT. Google showed me this package is added to the z51, not to the base model as I had assumed.
