Default Z06 = Batmobile?

Did anyone ever tell you that your C7 Z06 looks like batmobile? I get this quite often and I was wondering if it is just me. Today, as I was pumping gas, a kid yells to his father. Look, look, it is the batmobile.... I just smiled.

Maybe because my Z is shark gray, people notice some type of resemblance.

If I had a dollar every time someone called it the batmobile I would have enough money to pay for the callaway upgrade. Lol.

I get Ferrari F12 Berlinetta or 599GTO. Could be because mine's red. LOL





Oh hell no!

Yup, at least a couple of times in the few months I've owned it. Night Race Blue here so it's almost black LOL!

If it's the right color combo (see below), it's appropriate to call it the batmobile.

Funny that you mention this. We were on our way back to Mass from Carlisle a couple of weeks ago and some lady pulls up next to us on the highway and starts yelling, "Is that the batmobile? Are you Batman and Robin?" She had a big smile on her face. My car is Long Beach Red. Never thought of it as looking like the Batmobile.

The black ones kinda do, but to me all others look like Ferrari designed them. I have mistook a c7 for a Ferrari several times myself …from a distance

Yeah, darker colors, sure. I have a white Z, so I wouldn't say it looks like a bat mobile in the traditional sense. Although my neighbor recently said it did, so what do I know.
