Andy - The current yellow one has chrome wheels - Correct.
The original yellow one had silver. Maybe they just put chrome wheels on it and took off the silver? Not sure. WHen I spoke with Bob he told me this was a trade inon a black 3LZ 2008, not a ZR-1
A few things to note when looking at the 2006 model year Z06 (I have had two of them):
- The '06 C6 Z06 had problems with roof tops delaminating, then flying off and Half Shafts being broken (they strengthened the Diff output shaft but this only transfered the problem outboard) and some cracked Diff cases.
- A limited # of '06 C6 Z06's have had rocker needle bearing failures (presumably lot # related)
- The brakes & rotors of the C6 Z06 were upgraded but are basically unsuited for track work and are hard to up grade for track work. due to the padlet thickness limitations and backwards rotors on the right side. This has been fixed by WIlwood, Stoptech. But it can get a little expensive.
- The transmission was updated on late production '07 and '08 C6 Z06's
I hope that this helps.

It does help a lot. I guess Ill wait for a nice 07 in my price range.
Holeshot -
There are plenty of them out there. My friend just got a 2007 8,900 mile LMB for $50K. It is not bad. I think if you did go with a 2006 you will be ok, just need to make sure that the car was not beaten on.
Just trying to keep you informed of the differences in model years.

The yellow one WAS BEATEN. VIS report shows diff work and 2nd gear replacement, as well as tire replacement. If this is the car I'm thinking of, the car got picked up on a saturday, then ONE WEEK later I saw it going down the strip at GLD. However, it did go 11.7@125.
