The Z06 will be available in the following colors:
Reduced Mass Windshield The windshield has been thinned for a mass reduction of 1.0 kilograms (2.2 pounds). A windshield is constructed of three layers: glass on the outside, a layer of polyvinyl butyl, and then a layer of glass on the inside. The inner layer was thinned, so that mass is reduced, but resilience to stone chips is maintained. Reduced Mass Backlight The backlight (rear window) has also been thinned for a mass reduction of 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds). The overall effect of the thinner windshield and backlight reduces the Z06's cabin isolation, allowing a little more noise into the cockpit, giving it a greater sense of immediacy and putting the occupants a little more in tune with the car. Z06 Fender Emblems Z06 emblems are placed above each front wheel well, for a discreet yet essential indication of the car's heritage.
Front Fascia Grilles Air intakes have been opened up in the front fascia to help improve air flow to the engine air inlet. Stainless-steel mesh grilles are placed over these intakes, giving the Z06 a purposeful, ready-to-race demeanor.
Rear Rocker Panel Scoop and Brake Duct/Grille Brake scoops and grilles are placed in the rear rocker panel, just ahead of the rear wheels. The rear brake scoops force air around the rear tires and brake calipers, improving brake performance and fade resistance. The brake scoops reduce brake temperatures by about fifty degrees under heavy usage, which is a very significant improvement, especially on the racetrack.
