What is it?
2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Championship
What's special about it?
Listen, we know Ron Fellows. We've worked with Ron Fellows. Well, we've at least talked to him on several occasions. He's a nice man and a Canadian. And he is a damn fine racecar driver.
Fellows has been instrumental in the success that the Corvette has had in sports-car racing since the team had its first win with the C5-R in 2000, and he has been the lead driver for the team as it's won six consecutive manufacturer titles in the American Le Mans series.
But it's hard to say what Ron Fellows has to do with a special-edition Arctic White Z06 with his name on it.
The Fellows edition comes with front fender graphics that Chevy says are reminiscent of the graphics from the C5-R racecar (which itself is yellow). The red and silver stripes bear Fellows' autograph along with callouts for the championship years when he was at the wheel. Proud Canadian that Fellows is, a red maple leaf is incorporated into the graphics. The Fellows edition also gets a full width racing spoiler, a windshield banner and chrome wheels.
The interior is very red.
Some 399 examples of the Fellows Corvette will be built, and sales begin this spring.
Also, we appreciate that Chevrolet kept the official name of the car down to fewer than 10 words, although just barely. Our carpal tunnel syndrome thanks you.
What's Edmunds' take?
With two special-edition Corvettes at one auto show, Chevy is dangerously close to becoming the Franklin Mint of carmakers. — Daniel Pund, Senior Editor, Detroit
