Exclamation Updated 09' Corvette Z06

PRESS RELEASE

Several trim and content changes are incorporated on the Z06. They include:

* New, "spider"-design 10-spoke Z06 wheel available in four versions: Sparkle Silver, Competition Gray and chrome
* Color-keyed door and instrument panels with red and titanium interiors
* Power-operated pull-down hatch now standard
* Gray stitching on Ebony base seats (previously red)
* New door sill plates with the Z06 logo
* Acoustic package standard on all Z06 models

The Z06 also receives a larger-capacity dry-sump oiling system. It upgrades to the 10.5-quart (9.9 liters) system of the new ZR1. The previous oil system held eight quarts (7.5 liters).

The popular museum delivery option (RPO R8C) remains available for all Corvette models.

I'm just not a fan of the C6 design, cannot wait to see what they do with the C7's.

Looks nice, but that's a terrible picture to try to see the differences...

I like the color and the wheels especially. Usually after 2 years of being on the market, Corvettes bore the heck out of me.

I also think they should bring back Torch Red but just for the Z model.
