I have my Velocity Yellow on order but going to be a wait. However the cars are starting to come in. Click here. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...p;forum_id=100

By the way Sam, How is LBI these days? I spent my youth in Ship Bottom and worked as a teenager as a clammer in Tuckerton. Fours ago we moved from Medford to Fort Myers, FL.

What ever happened to Millenium Yellow?I talked to some C-6 owners and they told me it's been scrapped for Velocity Yellow because of paint warranty issues.I know Millenium doesn't cover worth a s**t because I recently painted my '69 Z/28 that color and it was a major pain in the you know what .Very expensive and very little coverage.

No disrespect to you but Velocity Yellow looks a little pale,doesn't it?

How are your prices compared to MSRP?

I spent hours at Corvettes @ Carlisle this year pouring over the Z06 and it is much better looking in person than it is in the pics. I love the car in Silver or Black and plan on getting one just as soon as the feeding frenzy is done. I will likely have to get one that is lightly used due to the differential in pricing in Canada (about $15,000 more than in the US for the same car!), so you guys who are getting them...take good care and give me a shout in 6 months if you get bored with it (the car has to be 6 months old for me to import it into Canada).

I also heard the car run down in Carlisle and it sounds wicked once the baffles open up. I met Will Cooksey, the Corvette Plant Manager, in the parking lot of the hotel and he gave me a quick intro to the Z06 he was driving

And yes, Velocity Yellow is more "pale" than Millenium Yellow but I like it better...

I too saw it at Corvettes @ Carlisle this year. Wonderful car. I didn't get to hear the open baffles, but I can imagine how sweet it sounded

My favorite was the body-off... I only got one picture because of all the people around it...

If anybody wants a zoom in of any part of this picture, just ask... the original is pretty high res.

My Z06 is on order at MSRP. However, when shopping I was quoted as high as $20,000 over MSRP. I would never do that.
