Default Pics of the Day from BC (2007/03/12) (lengthy)

One Day in A Row.....

Today we had a brief respite from the torrential rains of winter (or is it spring?). Took the Z06 to get beer and stopped on the way home to do a brief photo shoot at Cypress Mountain. Lucked out with bare parking lots but snow on the mountain to act as a reflector.













I am really starting to like this car.

That stripe looks awesome Jacob. Reminds me of the color combination on the Tungsten Ford GT

The stripe (and the 427 emblems) are kind of a styling throwback to the mid year big block cars with the stinger hoods. I've always admired these cars and wanted to do something a little different with the new Z car. I also was taken with the color scheme for the Shelby Cobra concept car. Mike Ung (Corvette Stripes) was kind enough to produce a set of stripes using a custom color for this car. On the rear, I felt a Z06 side badge was a better alternative to the C6 crossed flags rear emblem, which I relocated to the interior of the car.

Next on the list are the wheels and the interior.

Great photography. The stipre and color combo are perfect

Those donuts on the asphalt wouldn't have been made by the Z
