I have seen mention of "Bloomington" on the forum Is that the show in Champagne, Il? I am new to the forum and not on to all the different shows I see where there is a show on the weekend of June 27th, 28th and 29th. Is that the one? I am the proud owner of a C7, but will trade up to a Z06 as soon as possible I saw on the Bloomington website that they are having the Z06 there My wife and I intend to drive up and see one up close and personal. Anything I need to know before I go? Can we just show up and buy a one day pass?

Thanks for any help!!

We are going and now I'm wondering if the Z06 display will be like last years c7 display where you can see multiple models, sit in them, etc...if these are just displays and nothing else I'd rather skip it.

I saw the Z06 at Sebring and will again most likely at Road America in August.

Anyone know if they will have just one or multiple?

We just got home from Bloomington Gold. Looked like a good turnout. I didn't learn a thing about the Z06 that I didn't already know. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have the Z06 in TSG since it has been at other shows. They had the "tore down" version of the car showing the engine and tranny etc. Then had a yellow Z06 coupe and a blade silver vert. the vert had red interior. Both very beautiful. I think I may have to go with Arctic white, red interior. I love CGM that I have now, but I was told that the TSG doesn't have the bluish metallic in the sunlight like the CGM has.
