Thanks Ken. Sounds like someone may be listening to us. Audio controls steering wheel mounted.

Ken-
Can the customer order the red/black interior option on the '07 Velocity Yellow Z06? If not, please PM me with a GM phone# if you can so I can complain to someone there..!!

Thanks!

Hi Ken - Thanks for posting the info.


A couple of questions:

1) can you describe the 2 tone interior for us? Is the titanium 2 tones of titanium? Or titanium and black?

2) Can you post a photo of the current orange and the new orange side by side?

Ken,
I have the same questions about the Cashmere interior.

[Ken Fichtner]

Hello!

Thanks for your several posts and questions.

I would expect pricing to be released during the first week of production as usual.

I haven't any artwork, photos, graphics, etc on the interior combinations. What I posted is from the script distributed by GM.

I will, as time allows, take photos of the two orange color chips side by side and will post them.

Have a great day,
Ken Fichtner

Racing spoiler

Anyone know what this one looks like or is it the Z06 spoiler?

[ogduncan]

Do you have any idea when the first week of production is or what changes were done to the bose sound system

[Ken Fichtner]

I haven't any photos of the new accessories yet.

I would imagine that the racing spoiler is of similar height to that used on the Z06 and that it will cover the entire width of the rear of the car.

Here are the dates:

2006 Model Year
Final allocations published for dealers to view on May 17, 2006
Final production date is June 26, 2006

2007 Model Year
Dealers may begin submitting orders on June 1, 2006
Production will begin on June 27, 2006

Have a great week,
Ken Fichtner
