it's a shame they only added some stripes, a carbon fiber hood, and an improved suspension.. it would be nice to get a bit more punch from the "commemorative edition".. is the paint and 11 pounds weight savings worth the $5,000? probably not, but it's gonna have some nostalgic value in the future

Yea, it looks good, but it looks horrible in purple and yellow. Worst paint combination ever.

It does suck that GM only gave it so little for a special edition Z06. But that is GM for you, all they gave the 50th Aniversary vette was a special color. It's a cool color though. But you would think for a car with so much heritage in American culture, they could have done a better job.
The only good thing this new Z06 does is make more Z06's available.

Here are some pics of the 50th Anniversary Vette. I can't believe people paid $60,000 for a special color. At least the color looks great.
