Corvette Z06

Took the pictures at 1 Utama shopping center today.









This is the sixth generation 2005 Corvette - Z06. Said to be "the Fastest, Most Powerfull Production Corvette Ever Built".

According to the salesperson, it goes from 0 to 100 km/hr in just 3.7 secs.

He added that it costs around RM 1.8 Million.

Its not available in Malaysia as yet and I guess, it was just brought in for the Chevrolet road show going on at 1 Utama.
