Those gold aluminum wheels match the car perfectly. Super sexy sports car. I wouldn't be able to say whether or not this is better than the ZO6. Both cars are the real deal and pretty equal in my opinion.

    Close your eyes in a vacuum, no brand allegiance, no bias, and tell me this isn't the top 3 most exciting sounds of any engine ever made. It has the low and medium grunt, the high end isn't obnoxious like many others, and the pops are consistent. 90% of drivers would wish their cars sound like this, given performance was there which would allow me to accept the green hell/gold color. The performance and sound make the color fit.
