Default "427" LIMITED EDITION Z06 may be coming soon

EDIT: This has been identified as the Wil Cooksey Edition Z06 scheduled to come out soon. Can't wait to see one!!

According to the "Chrome Car Book" website i use to research pricing on vehicles, there may be a "427" LIMITED EDITION Z06 option code "ZZ4" coming out soon. There is no price listed for the ZZ4 option yet.

I believe this is the one that Rick Conti was talking about that will be available only in "(89U) Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat".

It also mentions "Unique Chrome Wheels" but does not list an option code or price yet.

Another interesting option is the "leather covered armrest individually signed and numbered". I wonder who's signature it is going to be and how many of these they are going to make?

Also listed below is "(785) Special Dark Titanium custom leather-wrapped interior trim with 427 logo embroidery on seat backs and floor mats" which sounds cool

Here is a copy and paste of the information listed for the ZZ4 option:

"427" LIMITED EDITION Z06, includes (89U) Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat exterior color, (785) Special Dark Titanium custom leather-wrapped interior trim with 427 logo embroidery on seat backs and floor mats, leather covered armrest individually signed and numbered, hydrographic patterned center trim plate, unique chrome wheels, body-color outside door handles, body-color rear spoiler, special graphics package, sill plates and exterior badging, as well as a certificate of 427 Limited Edition authenticity. (Requires (89U) Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat exterior color and (785) Special Dark Titanium custom leather-wrapped interior trim.)(Requires 3LZ Preferred Equipment Group. Code: Z44
If anyone has heard any more information on this please post it here. Thanks

Is this gonna be just another Z06 with stickers and badges and color schemes? And that will command a premium of several thousands of dollars?

I agree. Why would anyone care about a plant manager? A designer...OK. A race driver...OK. So, you own a Will Cooksey edition. Wonder how many times you'll have to answer the "Who is Will Cooksey?" question.

If it is just a special edition, w/o a name attached to it, that's OK. But it better not say "Will Cooksey" someplace on the car.

Quit hating on Will.. For all you know he may be reading this thread right now, and could decide to have a sudden drop in manufacture's quality!
