:: Ron Fellows C6 Z06 GM Press Release :: |
Corvette
enthusiasts in search of a unique ride have much to consider this
year with the introduction of two special-edition models: the Ron
Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06 and the Indianapolis 500
Pace Car Replica Corvette Convertible.
The special-edition Corvettes are distinguished by unique interior and
exterior appointments and will be offered in limited,
pre-determined quantities. In other words, when they’re gone,
they’re gone.
"Chevrolet and Corvette have a long, storied history at Indianapolis, and
the new pace car special-edition commemorates that heritage with
what will surely be an instant collectible,” said Ed Peper,
Chevrolet general manager. “Ron Fellows is also a part of
Chevrolet’s racing heritage, and he has been instrumental in the
remarkable success of the Corvette Racing team in the American Le
Mans Series. The special signature-series Z06 model that bears his
name will forever link him to one of the greatest eras in factory
racing, which has produced six consecutive ALMS GT1 manufacturers
championships, and counting.”
Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06
Marking his championship tenure with Corvette Racing’s GT1-class
domination in the ALMS, Corvette racing living legend Ron Fellows
is celebrated with a specially prepared 2007 Corvette Z06
production model. All are distinguished by Arctic White paint
(including the door handles) that is accented with a racing-style
fender stripe and Ron Fellows’ autograph.
The front fender graphics are reminiscent of the identifying graphics of
the Corvette GT1 race car. They feature double Monterey Red
Metallic stripes with Machine Silver borders and Fellows’
autograph in a contrasting Victory Red shade, along with the
callouts of the championship years when he was at the wheel. There
is also a maple leaf logo motif incorporated with the graphics, a
nod to Fellows’ Canadian heritage. Indeed, the red-over-white
color scheme of the car’s paint and graphics represents Canada's
colors.
This special Corvette Z06 is the first signed special edition in
Corvette’s 54-year history, and is the first Arctic White Z06 ever
offered. Only 399 are planned for production: approximately 300
for the United States, 33 for Canada and 66 for other export
markets.
Exterior cues include a full-width racing spoiler and a unique windshield
banner. Additional standard equipment includes the well-equipped
2LZ package and chrome wheels. Special interior appointments
include:
* Red seats, center console, door panels and instrument panel
* Red, leather-covered armrest with a Corvette-signature “cross
flags” logo that is hand-signed
and numbered by Ron Fellows
* Tech pattern interior trim
An accomplished road racer, Ron Fellows is inextricably woven into the
Corvette Racing team’s success. He helped test and develop the
first Corvette C5.R race car and recorded the team’s first win in
2000. Fellows also grabbed the ALMS GTS class championship in 2002
and shared that position in 2003 and'04. Fellows has been a part
of all six consecutive ALMS GT1 manufacturers championships for
Chevrolet, and was voted the most popular ALMS driver in 2004
and'05. Additionally, he has slipped behind the wheel of NASCAR
Nextel Cup Chevy Monte Carlo SS race cars when the series hits
road courses. He’s also scored a pair of NASCAR Craftsman Truck
series wins, three NASCAR Busch Series wins, 19 SCCA Trans Am wins
and was the GM Player’s Challenge champion in 1989.
The Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06 will be available this
spring. It carries an MSRP of $77,500, including destination.
OnStar and the navigation system are the only options; and when
equipped with them, the price is $79,945.
