This is one of those cars that’s stunning in every single color. I’m sure everyone is constantly questioning their decisions…..

This color spec’d out with dark exterior accents, like this car, with Adrenaline Red Dipped interior and red calipers… yes please.
I also really like the interior on these 70th editions. Great design and love the black suede dash.

The largest difference is the rear quarter angles. They botched that on the Stingray. From the front head on, 3/4 from front side, and side profile car is a home run. When you look at the back 1/4 its too narrow compared to the rest of the car, they fixed that with the Z06. Also the car needs 20/21 wheels, on stingrays that upgrade its a HUGE difference if you go to aftermarket wheel thread, and lastly, the side boomerang is improved with the design on the Z06. All of these things help make the car proportionally better but the largest fix is the wider rear quarter.

Zo6 needs the side boomerang in carbon fiber as an option or part of the z07 package. Read diffuser in carbon would also complete it too but the boomerangs would look better in carbon.

I thought I read that they’re dealer installed. While I don’t think you can order the 70th package without them (can’t reduce the cost by excluding them), you may be able to communicate with your dealer to not have them installed.

A few observations…
The Pearl White 70th Anniversary model looks noticeably better to me as a coupe than as a convertible when ordered with Z07.
I say this in spite of the fact that I think the HTC model is overall a better looking design than the coupe and what I plan to order.
I couldn’t figure out why the Y70 photos in post 861 look so good and then I realized that the wheels are missing the red stripes!

Weird. If I zoom in, I actually think the red stripes are still there, but they do look very obscured for some reason.. I guess it's possibly just shadowing because the sun is shining on the opposite side of the car? Interestingly, I've seen a couple other real-life pics of the pearl white 70'th, in which the red stripes are more visible and clearly there, and yet they still seemed a lot more subdued than the red accent rings from previous Corvettes ..
Makes me wonder if the stripes on the 70th are more of an "Edge" red than the brighter red on Z's of the past. Like the two different red brake caliper options on the C8Z Visualizer. Either way I agree with you though, I do like it better without them.
