When I saw the thread title, I was hoping that this would be the way to order a Z06 with the ZR1's tires (but in Z06 sizes), which would let it beat up on the GT-R on a lot of road courses (or so I speculate).

But no, it's just an appearance package and regrouping of existing features.

Corny and Ugly comes to mine. Geez, as if seeing what the geezers do to their Vettes at the local shows isn't torture enough....just needs some matching seat covers, gold plated sill covers, and a Corvette hat in the hatch to be complete.

Please tell me it comes with a matching jacket cause I wanna see 'that guy' at the Summer Nats this year!!

Actually, an Arctic White Z06 version might not totally suck. So where are all the lightweight upgrades for the track days...or do the stickers make it faster?

Focus on light weight? Where? Is the caliper paint light weight?

The only thing I can come up with is a lightweight exhaust.

Good intentions, poor effort.

The stock class autocrossers are going to ask where the wider front wheels are.

they should offer it in yellow with black stripes and wheels instead of the comp gray.

How come the Cobalt SS, Camaro and CTS-V get Brembo brakes and the Cobalt SS can get Recaro seats, but the halo car of GM/Chevrolet doesn't?

That circle and number on the doors blows big time. That should have been done all cool like. I get why they need a number but, that's just horrid.

bueno! Ther only thing good is the blacked out headlight cover.

Stripes are one thing. Putting numbers on the door is quite another. This isn't the Dukes of Hazard.
