Believe me, had I been going the same direction, I'd have been tempted to follow him until he took a rest stop and ask him that.

Re: SPOTTED: Truckload of Z06s

On my way to Bowling Green today, about 30 miles south of the Indiana/Kentucky border on I-65, I saw 2 truckloads of Z06s heading north.

Yes, I am 100% positive those trucks were full of Z06s. Saw the scoops on the front as they came my way, and saw the shiny split-spoke wheels as they went by. Spent more time looking at them then the road at that point.

So they're definitely being produced!

Unfortunately neither my real camera nor my camera phone were handy at the time.

At this point, I'm assuming 505HP is the final figure seeing as all Chevy's promotional stuff says that figure still. But tomorrow I'll pay special attention when I tour the Assembly Plant and make sure I get an eye full of a badge.

There is a pre-pro Z06 here at the museum that Mr. Mars brought.
No HP figure on the badge of that car though.

I can definitely confirm Z06s are now shipping out of BG.

did the fender badge have numbers on them? and if so what was the number?

My CFO went to Bowling Green and watched his Z06 get finished being built... he started it off the line and everything too.. pretty cool.

Anyway, the badges ended up saying 505hp, so nothing changed in the end, I guess.

Don't forget to warn him about burning up his clutch

There were four production C6 Z06's at the Frankenmuth Auto Fest last weekend. I touched one.

They are being shipped, but I beleive that truckload (I saw it too on the way to BG) was headed to Michigan (according to gossip at the show).

Yup, 505HP is the final figure. It's on the badges in red.
