Orange calipers
Visualizer has the orange calipers back. It seems the only way to get them with the Z07 package. I am doubting I will get the Z07 package. Mainly because I have absolutely no idea what to do with R compound tires when I'm picking up at the museum and driving over 1000 miles back home on roads I have never been on before (no idea what to expect). So this brings up two questions: 
- Do you think there will be a market for used Z06 calipers for the non-Z06 enthusiasts?
- Do you think the orange calipers will be available for order?

Usually, the visualizer doesn't correctly portray the correct final ordering options.
Even if it does, and the orange calipers are only truly available on Z07 - which seems like an odd limitation that would only serve to increase assembly line and logistical complexity - you can always get your calipers powder-coated after the fact, in a virtually limitless array of colors.

When you order the Carbon Ceramic brakes (“J57”), Harbor Gray is standard; options are Bright Red, Edge Red, Edge Yellow and Edge Orange; then for the regular cast iron brakes ("J56"), Black is standard; Bright Red, Edge Red, and Edge Yellow are options. So the only way to get Orange calipers is to get Z07 or CCB. This was confirmed at the Corvette Bash.
