I hope it sells more than the plasticy interior from the Indy version.]]>Feb 1st 2007 12:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/
DUH. It's about as absurd as the "powered by Honda" banners you see on tuner Civics.]]>Feb 1st 2007 3:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/

Everything good comes from up North, Strong and Free!]]>Feb 1st 2007 6:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/Feb 2nd 2007 9:29AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/
Everyone talks up a storm about how great a deal the Z06 is, but as a track car, it sucks. Why, because it's a real pain in the ass to make it a part time track car which is reliable and safe, without essentially rebuilding the car...

So, save your money on the decals and crap and give us some love where it counts! ]]>Feb 4th 2007 1:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/Feb 5th 2007 12:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/Feb 8th 2007 9:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/chicago-preview-ron-fellows-alms-gt1-champion-corvette-z06/IN 1998 I WAS INVITED TO A CADILAC STS DAY IN BOIS BRIAND AT THE G.M.

Pratt & Miller found a good pilot to champion the C5R and C6R bloodline.

As a C5 owner, Ron's spirit embodies everything Zora envisioned the Vette to be: a world class champion. This is an EXCELLENT tribute to Corvette's racing heritage.

Also, thanks to GM for launching a special edition, which actually represents a significant milestone.

One note to GM: The guys who race (not many of us -so we'll have to bring our car to Doug Rippie for mods) would like to skip the extra fluff options and have an OEM set-up like the ZO6 packages that were ready for the track in the 60's AND NOW BRING BIG $$$$ at MECUM and Barret-Jackson.

I have met Ron several times at Road America, and have to say he is a nice guy who will take the time to talk cars with you.

The Corvette ZO6 leaves everything else in the Dust !

ZZZOOMM (and not Mazda! I saw this plate on a '69 Vette when I was a kid - cool)]]>Mar 26th 2007 10:33AM
