Well guys, all the 2002 Z06 hype is out there!! But, tomorrow, Russ Craighead, Corvette Performance Manager, is taking an EB 2002 Z06 to Bloomington Gold to show it off. I have exclusive pictures of the car!! Russ swung by for a beer on his way to Bloomington, and here are the PIX!!

Of course we had to have the http://www.z06vette.com banner!!

The Z was so new that it didn't even have the emblems on yet.

We used a template and installed the emblems.

The wheels look the same, even though they are cast. BTW, no 2001's were equipped with cast wheels.

Russ...he really doesn't like pictures, so this is kind of obscured.

Russ rippin down the street. With the pup cats removed, the Z sounds like an 01 at idle, but under WOT they scream!! Great sound!!!

You've outdone yourself Frank! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] No really....

[hcvone]

[VPRKLLR]

BEAUTIFUL
that's all I gotta say!!

[Zippy]

WOW-WEE!

And to think, I had an invite to be with Frank, to see this and I decided against it!

I know, dumb!!!

Zippy [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img] [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img] made a bad choice! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img]

[nevercansstop]

What a score.....Frank it must have been tough to sit on these photos and hold 'em back!!! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]:]

[Lawdogg]

Great pics Frank! I have seen Electron Blue in BG and your pics are the first I've seen that really captured the actual hue. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Now if I hadn't bought a primered car. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

[PbPedis]

DAMN...to think I almost switched my order to Torch/Mod Red. The official GM photos suck! They almost look like Nassau. E. Blue is a killer colour and I can't wait!!!
Thanks Frank!

[Zapper]

So, the new exhaust sounds great ? Thanks for the info Frank. As usual you make a great ambassador !

Pics don't show up for me. By the reponses from everyone else, I take the EB will be a great success.

[Muckdogs]

If I wasn't speechless, I'd say something!! Thanks Frank

Wonderful photos! I'm more anxious than ever to get mine ordered. This color is going to be lots of different blues depending on the lighting and the surroundings.

Some versions of Netscape Navigator won't open these pics. I had to go to Internet Explorer to see them. Glad I did!
