Looks good, very difficult to see any color difference from Arctic White. Have to check one out in person. Anyhow it is a beauty and can be a beast, enjoy it.

I really hope that bicycle is securely fastened to the ceiling. Made me cringe!

1. Bike has been hanging there for 10 Years.
2. The color really does change---the darker or cloudier it gets--the more the Grey-Blue tint is evident..
3. This is my 74th New Corvette dating back to 1965----I have had every year since 1984 except 94 and 96 and in a few of the years 2....Almost had 3 one year but barely made it into the first of the following Year.
At least its a vice that does not anyone........

Harvey nice pics of the car. I still don't know what to make of that color until I see it with my own eyes among other colors. Unique nonetheless.
I am baffled as to what they did with this new steering wheel? Is there no "Z06" emblem on the bottom anywhere? I am not fond of the execution of the alcantara to carbon. Maybe it's because of the design of the aftermarket ones out there? What's your take on it? Maybe it's the thickness? My Grand Cherokee has a fatter wheel than these cars. Drives me nuts.
the car is awesome looking though and I wish you the best. My one regret is NOT buying the Z06 vert I had the chance too when I picked mine up. Whenever I see the Z vert it brings back those feelings lol. I wish I had a 100th of the ability to switch in and out that You do!

Steering wheel is very comfortable. Love the vette over the coupe -- especially when it comes to road noise. No comparison.

Would like to see that color in person as well. Most of the pics that I've seen looks like AW is various lighting.
I see that they removed the Z06 badging from the lower steering wheel. Wonder why. I like it better with...
Seat belts tie in nicely with the other red accents, i.e., stitching, paddles, etc.
Congrats!

I had an Audi S5 in a similar color (Glacier White) and REALLY liked it and had lots of complements. Can't wait to see it in person! By the way, I will rate my S5 as the most challenging paint-chip color match I have ever had!!

It is amazing how much quieter the convertible cabin is than the coupe, until the top is down, and then the exhaust note makes much louder and better music. Even with the coupe targa top off, the back glass and hatch roof blocks the exhaust note much more than the totally open vert.

Congrats and 74th Vette owned should be a world record. Did notice the Z06 emblem on the steering wheel missing wonder why? Car looks great and can't beat a Z06 VERT!
