Ron Fellows is the man who was behind the wheel of the winning Corvette C5R in 2000 taking first place in a race and winning the 2002 edition of the American LeMans GTS--Class championship. In order to properly recognize his past and continuing contribution to the Corvette Racing Team, GM will build 399 Z06 painted in Arctic White / Monterey Red with Victory Silver graphics up front. The interior will feature Victory Red accents a maple leaf logo as a nod to Mr. Fellows Canadian heritage. 300 will be reserved for the US, 33 for Canada and 66 for exports markets.
Another Corvette on display is the Indy 500 Pace Car Edition. To commemorate the 9th time that the Corvette will be used as the Pace Car, GM will produce 500 replicas of the Atomic Orange Convertible for the public. Each and every one of these Vettes will have Indy 500 decals, a Z06 rear spoiler, Atomic Orange interior trim, ebony leather seats and the 400 hp LS2 V8 as well as a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The race takes place on May 27th 2007.
