Default Z06 at Amelia Island Cars and Caffeine

Wasn’t even thinking about seeing one there among Mclarens, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Pagani, Koenigsegg (sp?) etc. They had an arctic white 3LZ Z07 and a caffeine Stingray. The GM people with the cars were very knowledgeable, but tight-lipped. I even offered the one guy $5, but he wouldn’t discuss timelines or MSRP, In person, the Z makes the SR look plain.

Did you really think $5.00 would do it?

Hopefully you didn't offer him that while he was sipping a beverage.
Nice pics!

Mike Furman posted this in his weekly thread this morning, and I'd say that is as close to accurate as anyone can predict.

'As for the 2023 C8 Z06...My estimate is much like GM has been stating all along...you won't see the first 2023 Z06 delivered until very late Summer '22 at the very earliest.'

P.S. I always knew she was the one with class!

Ha! I was there today and the C8 rep there said pricing would be released in 2 weeks - but was tight lipped on what that price would be. For those of you that are still trying to settle on your colors - good luck. I was not even considering white with a black top until I saw the one at Amelia Island today. And who knew yellow brake calipers with carbon fiber wheels would look so good - the yellow interior stitching completed the look.

We were sure we wanted AO until seeing the Arctic White at Amelia, too. Our C7Z was white with red interior and now it’s a strong possibility.

This is the interior I want... Is there a way to get the yellow stitching on the 2LZ ?

Only DIY with a fabric pen for the 2LT. I've gone back and forth on this numerous times in my head with 2LT & GT2 seats vs just getting the 3LT on the SR.

WOW! A whole $5 tip? I'm not sure people even bend over to pick up a $5 laying on the ground on Amelia Island. Did he laugh?

Did anyone shoot a pic of the door jamb vin sticker or the dash vin? Was it a prototype car like the others?
