Z06 Laguna Blue/Twilight Blue and J57 Ceramic Brakes~One of One~Mike@Criswell's 16th
~This is my own delivery thread. Every Sunday morning I post some of the Corvette deliveries of the previous week. Well I kept this a surprise for the most part. Feb 9th I had an extra Z06 allocation and decided to place an order for what I feel will be "One of One". Now in my 38th year of selling Corvettes this is what I chose to order as my 16th Corvette: 2016 Z06 Cpe in Laguna Blue Tintcoat with Twilight Blue interior, 3LZ pkg, AE4 Competition seats, D30 Color over ride, J57 Carbon Ceramic Brakes, 7spd manual trans, and 5Z8 10 spoke Blade Pearl Nickel Alum wheels. My new Z06 got completed last Wednesday the 9th of March and arrived at Criswell on the 16th. Friday is my day off but I seem to be in more than I am out so I stayed the day and watched over some deliveries getting washed as my 16th Corvette that I have owned got PDI'd and the wheels switched. I will never understand why the factory sends these cars with the standard wheels when ordering the special 10 spoke Blade Pearl wheels...once my Corvette was completed I drove it home to wash myself as I didn't want to get stuck in rush hour traffic on a Friday. I ordered the Photobook from the Corvette museum which will have 30-35 pictures from various stages of the Z06 getting built at the plant. Looking forward to seeing that.
Zero miles...
~My office desk view of my Z06 waiting to get PDI'd...
~My 2015 Z06 with the Laguna Blue Calipers has 2,033 miles and is for sale at Criswell. Call me on my desk line 301-212-4420 or pass the word.
~Just before I drove home in my new '16 Z06...is it "One of One"? We shall see what the final 2016 Production numbers look like in a few months.
~Home...still needs to be cleaned but home.

Beautiful car Mike! This was a color combo I was looking at before I went with CR/Red which as far as I know is 1 of 3 Z06's in this color combo. You help me in deciding on this color. Enjoy!

Not many if at all. I actually have a stock unit on the lot. I would guess less than 100 produced for the 2016 model year...Day two pictures. I added the Stage 3 Z07 spoiler and wicker bill and washed it.

Mike,
Very nice car. I would like to ask what is entailed in obtaining the picture book of the production of your car? Can anyone get that info on their cars ?
If so, I would certainly like to have a set for my Z07.
Thanks,
Dave

You have to order said book thru the Corvette Museum at least 10 days before the production of your Corvette. Just supply them with the order number.

Wow, Mike...... Never saw this coming!
Really like those optional wheels.
Curious...... Why the D30 override option on this great color combination?
Wish we were your neighbors...... Like being at DisneyWorld swimming with the Dolphins without ever being there.
Did you have any issues with brake dust accumulation on your 2015 ZO6 with the stock ZO6 brakes? I am assuming that is why you went with the Carbon Ceramic brake option...... Truly one of one!
So, will you be powder coating your 2016 brake calipers blue like you did for your 2015?

Mike, congrats. That is a great looking combo and nice to get the brakes on the regular Z.
I wanted and tried to get the CCBs on a stage 2 car for '15, but it wasn't allowed then.
Nice set-up.
