And what's the big deal about the 2.73 dif. ratio?

What a joke. Stripes, different plastic cover for the engine, logos and a racing number?
This car is for waxers.
How about selling a bare frame with a VIN? That would get a lot of serious racer's interest.

Is the Ron Fellows Z06 the only C6 Z06 with white paint? If so, that makes it more unique than just adding some hash marks on the fender.

why don't they do what Ford did with the mustang spec racer?
I would refrain from requiring buyers to race them on a tour - which is cost prohibitive to many - but selling the car in full track form without making it illegal for the street cannot be that hard.
Let's face facts: what would they need to do make the Z the ultimate track car for the price? : slightly better brakes, stereo and hvac delete, increase cabin venting, lighter interior panels or even bare doors with hand crank windows, carpet delete, side-airbag deletes (on second thought - get rid of the seats and let the buyer put in their own - most buyers would prefer to take whatever pittilance GM spent on seats and put that money towards their choice), bigger rear spoiler, coilovers and sways, michelin SPC's with a small air compressor and a can of fix a flat like some other car manufacturers, stiffer bushings throughout, lighter & louder exhaust - possibly shorten it, slightly more agreesive tuning, and let's not forget closer ratios in the happy stick. HP is already amazing in the Z so I would rather the money be spent elsewhere to keep it affordable.
I'd buy that.

Kinda' like the ACR Viper, but just faster and lighter!
