I'm not crazy about all the "85 ethanol writing" on the Z06, but that trick "gold rush" paint job is suuuweet! :cool:

Saw a targa top version of the 30th Anniv. rolling 86th street here in Indy today.


Looks like total sex to me!

Love that paint job!!! Did they retune the LS7 for the E85? If so how much does it put down?

"Apart from the fuel system and powertrain controller revisions required to run E85, the Z06 concept pace car is mechanically stock."

It's still rated at 505 hp and 470 lb-ft.

Here's a vid of the cars too.
