Default Is this a Carbon edition 2011 ??

Here's a 2011 for sale locally I'm interested in, I've only seen it online and talked to a salesman. I didn't ask them if it was a Carbon.
Anyways not my preferred color, the blue is way better IMHO here is a link http://www.sunsetchevrolet.com/Vehic...-WA/2837750633

Does not appear to be. Carbon versions were only available in blue/orange. It does appear to have the carbon brakes, but the "carbon versions" were limited orange or blue ones with a special package.

How much are they asking for it?

Here is a link for more detail on the Carbon edition for 2011.

Thanks for the replies,
So is this basically the highest optioned Z06 of that year then?
It looks like it has a different front splitter and a full width rear spoiler. Plus magnetic ride control, carbon brakes.
They are asking 57,950 for the car.

Not sure about the options.
Have you been to Good Chevrolet? They have two C6 Z06es, one black Centennial edition and a white one.

I see the differences,
this car has no side ground effects, it has a black rear spoiler and it does not say Carbon on the steering wheel bezel either.
The color, I was originally thinking this was the other color than the blue,
but I see from the link that Inferno Orange is one of the two colors

First clue that it wasn't for me was the mirrors weren't black. Exposed carbon roof and spoiler wasn't part of the carbon edition package either as seen on the Carbon/Z07 optioned car below, but the last 3 digits of the vin not being between 1 and 252 is the best way to know for sure.

Not a Carbon. Doesn't have the alcantara wheel, shift **** or console. Still pretty freaking nice.

Interesting option list. It is not a carbon. It appears to be a Z07 option but in 2011 the Z07 had a black roof. The side skirts and front spoiler were an option on the Z07 and it appears that it does not have this option. The rear spoiler and front spoiler have exposed carbon fiber which means they are after market.

I can't explain the body colored roof though, perhaps the previous owner painted it orange.

Do you have the window sticker?
