Default Picture of 2009 ZO6 I'll be ordering in a couple of weeks!!

Thanks to some spy shots by Rick Conti at the NCM Bash, I made my decision on the color and rims for my 2009 ZO6 .

I was thinking seriously about ordering a black 2008 ZO6 with Comp. Grey rims, but when I heard about the Cyber Grey exterior I decided to wait. When the 2009 order guide came out, I was very disappointed that the current style Comp. Grey rims were not going to be available in 2009 (only the chromies will be available in the current style).

Well, this picture made me happy I decided to wait. The color looks fantastic, and the Comp. Grey rims in the new wheel design looks awesome as well .

I have a deposit already with the dealer, and I'm in line for their first ZO6 allocation. I just wish I didn't have to wait until July or August to take delivery.

Many thanks to Rick Conti for posting these pictures!

I like that color!! I guess GM will be using the 427 Special Edition wheels on the 09's as well from your picture.

the color is kinda blah, i guess it helps blend the car into traffic a little better. and i really don't like the style of the wheels.

That's a great color combo although I'd swap for the current model wheels in comp gray.

I like the color a lot, though I think on that car I'd perfer a nice set of chrome or polished rims.

in the end it is still a z right! lol i came from a silver/gray car i love how easy they are to keep clean and always look classy but i just think this car deserves a color that yells as much as it's performance does.

Guess the 427 wheel is not an exclusive after all.

Good luck with it, but that new gray on a Z06 just does not get it for me.

Those new wheels either
