I wish I could answer that question but I'm not sure. There were only a couple body panels that were on that chassis and also I'm not terribly familiar with the yellow. Whatever it was looked good though.

Best,

This just isn't right. I see a toy like this from the factory and wonder why anyone would want to purposely obey any kind of speed limit with something like this. I wish that this Vette was around about 20 years ago when i could con myself that i could afford one of these jewels and be broke for the next 10 years!!!!

This was an exceptional post. Really, really good stuff.

What I find so remarkable is the fact that those responsible for the design of the C7, and now the Z06, are so approachable and willing, even anxious, to talk about their work. They have been doing it for over a year, and they seem to have lost none of their enthusiasm, even when answering the same questions time and again. (Not here, btw; this interview was great.) It's very impressive. Well done. Thanks.

The grey looks real nice in person...better than in the pics. I just saw one at the local dealer and it reminded me of the MSGC (Medium Spiral Grey Metallic) '03 I had.

I thought TSG is a 2015 color? How did you see one in a showroom?
