Default Got my Auto Art C6 Z06 yesterday (PICTURES)

I posted this in the C4 forum but I figured some of you folks in here would be interested too.

Where did you get it from? (Never Mind,I see National Diecasters has both in stock).I thought they were only going to be produced in Red and Black, I did not know about the Yellow one.

Holy crap!

Only upon closer inspection of the first photo does one realize that it's not a real car!!!

Nice detail replicating the "rectangular" LS7 intake runners instead of just copying their LS2 "round" ones...

Gotta get me one.

(Missing GM badges and all)...

The color yellow shows the best in the Z-06 model shows the best lines.

One ooops maybe - I thought the Z06 battery was in the trunk???

That side shot looks like you could get in and start it up!

Just bought my friend one (Yellow too) for his birthday. I'm getting the C5 Z06 AUTOart (blue 2004 version I think).

Yes, that is an inaccuracy I didn't pick up on before you mentioned it...

There should be a silver colored dry sump oil reservoir where the battery is located on the model....

This must be a model of the allusive wet sump '05 (un-GM-badged) Z06....

Still a damn fine model and gotta get me one...

Are red, black, and yellow the only colors offered? I'd love a blue one

The only colors they are producing right now are Red and Yellow. I sent Auto Art an email a while back asking if they were going to produce any other colors and I never heard back from them. I was looking for LeMans Blue also.

I thought you were joking when I saw the first image...the detail of the diecast cars is just amazing. Not the old AMT or REVELL models I used to build as a teenager.
I just won (@ that auction site) an AUTOART '04 Z06/Z16 LeMans Blue Commemorative Edition to match my real car. I couldn't believe no one else bid the minimum $24.00 for it.

I have one of them too. That also has awesome detail you won't be dissapointed Auto Art makes great models for the money. I won it on Ebay but I can't remember how much I paid for it I think it was around $50.00. More than what you paid but still about $20.00 cheaper than I would spend at a hobby shop.

It was CORVETTE CENTRAL that had the auction that I won. I received a catalog in the box, retail was $64.95...I think I did well.
