Should be fun to watch. Not a big fan of yellow, so I won't be bidding it up on Rick.

This car is not being sold. The rights to spec and buy the first production Z06 are being sold. Look on the web. They cars at the auctions are always "stunt doubles". So good news....you can go head to head with Rick and spec any color when you win. Good luck.

Yes, I am aware that the car going across the block is not the actual serial #1. They have always done it this way. I wouldn't be bidding against him in any event.

Geez they could have picked a better color to show off the Z. No offense of course to those that think the yellow is hot.

Yes, especially with natural interior. The New Balance Corvette crowd would go nutz

They’re trying really hard to get more than 6 people to order this color.

The Yellow Z06/Z07 & Orange Z06/Z07 are inside next to Spring Mountain. The Orange one looks to be the same one from SEMA. The Silver Z06 is on the outside display and looks to be the same as the one from SEMA. (I didn't check VINs)

When the sun was out yesterday the silver really popped with the red interior. I'm leaning towards another color combo, but this one looks great. There may be some bias, my AMG Benz is the same color combo

I'm glad to see that you can get up close to the Z06s. I need to measure the rear outside tread to see if the car will fit on my lift or if I need to get a wider lift. My C7 Z06 fits with just a little tire overhang.

I am not a yellow guy but this a new version and take on yellow and it's actually pretty nice in person. Some are stuck in that past and just don't want to move forward.

Many people have speculated that the Z06 won't have Corvette across the rear fascia but these all have it. I think a Z06 under the tail light would be a better option.

I agree, Z06 under the brake light would be nice. Like they do with the 911 variants. That said, there's a segment of Corvette owners that are sadly notorious for their love of tacky and embarrassing add ons and they'll be putting them on their Stingrays.
