Default UPDATE #19...Do you recognize this color?...Sunglasses Are Advised...PICS !!!

As I said in the previous update, the next time you see the car it will have a different color interior. Well the car has finally made it back from the paint shop. Assembly is next and it should move pretty quick.
I'm still waiting for my sequential trans which is the only unknown momentarily.

Nineteenth Post
UPDATE #18...Next time you see it, the interior will be a different color. PICS !!!







At first glance it may seem a bit intense, but with the paint scheme the interior will compliment it, not overshadow it.

If you're wondering on the color.....yes, it is the actual C6R Yellow.

OK, the name calling can begin.

It's been called a few already.

Flying Banana
Lemon Drop
Yellowbird





I am very happy with how the new firewall and extra support came out. A true work of art!




















More to come soon!

I'm starting to make VROOM VROOM noises in my chair here.

So tell me Mike, do you like yellow?

Actually, how does C6.R yellow differ from Velocity Yellow or whatever the stock Z06 colour is called?

David,

The Main difference is the C6R Yellow is clearly the fastest color

The C6R Yellow is brighter than Millennium Yellow and darker than Velocity Yellow (Current C6 Z06). The C6R Yellow has a little more red in it, where as the VY has more green.

Wow! Baby!
Mike that is

By the way, did you ever consider the bugs liking yellow on the inside? You may have to hang a fly strip on the rear view.

Looking great buddy.

And of course you made absolutely the right color choice

Very, very nice, Mike. Say, what are those two brackets ar the back roll bar hoop? Do they support the roof? I have never seen them before and it may be just because I have never seen a C6 that far down.

I really like the color. When I raced and was sponspored by Penzoil for a while my wife said, "I don't see how you can be involved in wrecks! You have the loudest and brightest car on the race track!" I think that is where you are going to be. Certainly the brightest and the fastest!

Keep praying for the dino check and tune. I did not hear any KABOOMS so I guess the motor is still in testing.

Heck Dan,

I need sunglasses just to read your thread!

I really haven't had any problems with bugs in my Yellow Z06 and this one will be carrying a faster jetstream to whisk them away!

You're right. They will all be splattered on the inside of the rear window.

Those are to hold on to for a ride outside the car. Like Six Flags....It's called Superman!

Jim,

Every time I take my VY Z06 out to the track, it stands out more then even some of the true race prepped cars. This will be a very easy color to notice dancing between your side and read view mirrors.

How about I drive and you hang on?

Once they look in their rear view mirrow and see your nose hairs they will move over. If not, you know why they call it a bump bar!
