Default I'll be one of the 1st...

...to see the new Z06 in person.

I am one of the 120 people who will get to go to the Detroit show before it is open to the public and see the unveiling and get a little speech from Dave Hill. Should be cool. I will try to post pics when I get back that night of the real thing.

Go ahead and ruin it for me. I'm hoping there's more than the pic indicates. Feel free to dump all the specs on us while you're at it.

Just to be clear, when I said that I would be there before the public I meant by only a few hours. We get to go in the day it opens at 8am and it opens to the public at 10am (I think). So there will probably be lots of pics and info posted that day even before I do perhaps so it won't spoil it too much.

Please tell me that the pic is not truly representative of the next Z.
Give us all the specs as soon as you can post them.

Its better to actually work those events as security or gate people. Heck they get in DAYS before the event opens up and get to see everything. And then call in sick the day of the event

Bring your Picture phone and send those pics back ASAP!!! Enjoy

Someone get some 3D pics.

(Use a tripod, snap a picture, move the tripod 3 inches to the side, and snap another picture. Repeat from different angles.)

I gotta say, if that's what it looks like, and it's less than 70k, it's gonna be tough to pass on

Love that in blue.

I jumped on a couple tickets for my brother and I. Looks like we'll be able to work around business trips and make it in.

Don't really care so much about being first, but do hope to get some good pictures in the absence of the crowds.

Does anyone know if the 120 NCM tickets will be the only early entrants or will other groups be there? Curious how many people we'll have to work around to take some nice pics.

Get notified of new replies

To I'll be one of the 1st...

A total of 200 will have the early admission for the Dave Hill presentation.

What you see in the pic is what the car will look like. It will be even nicer in person, just as the C6 is nicer in person.
