Default 2009 specs on Z06

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/13/p...or-and-wheels/



[Source: GM]

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.

Nice little upgrades. Those wheels are much better than the previous ones. I'd like to see a black or red Z06 with those wheels in "Competition Gray".

Yes, there should be a 'painted hood bubble' option on the ZR1!!

I also LOVE that color above with the comp grey wheels. It looks like a race car off the showroom floor.
Now if only they would offer the Pilot Cup tires as a factory option.

They've really done a good job pumping out great factory wheel designs lately. Looks great.

The Z06 looks even more badass with the new wheels. I like the looks a lot more than the new Zr1, which looks way to busy and the clear hood=

Also, I like the idea of n/a horsepower more than the Zr1's supercharged motor. The ZR1 is badass no doubt, but the lighter weight of the Zo6 and the fact that the race corvettes are N/A just make it seem more track ready.

I do not like the power trunk deal...more weight.

But that is the sexiest Vette I have ever seen...makes the C6 ZR1 look fugly.

That is just a FINE looking C6Z!!!

That's an amazing color. If I were to ever repaint my car, it would be that color.
