Is it her car or your car?

My wife liked the color of my orange 2012 Camaro better but she's ok with my yellow ZO6. I bought my Z based on the options and mods more than the color. The only color I won't own is black, been there-done that, never again.

To the OP, why are you selling it already? I'd love to have your seats, much better than the stock ones. Good luck with the sale.

Awesome honor to be nominated for Corvette of the Week!! Thank you guys very much. I have to say the car always gets a ton of positive attention wherever I take it. I also agree that the wife should have nothing to say about the color unless she is going to regularly drive it. I made this mistake years ago listening to my wife on a car decision. She drove that car once.....maybe twice in 3 years of ownership. Never again will I listen. Usually people don't know they like something unless they experience it first hand. I have had many people tell me not to change things on cars over the years, and then after I do it, the same person tells me that the change "MADE" the car. LOL!!

Beautiful car, you've done a great job of cleaning up the odds and ends on it as well.

Oh yeah, nice E46M as well!

How did you end up liking those tires. Thinking of getting them. Any input on the ride and performance.

The tires are great. I really like them. I don't feel any difference between these and the Michelin PSS's on my BMW. They are much smoother and have better road manors than the NT05's. It's a better street tire in my opinion, but it may not be as sticky.
