Default Walked into my dealer tonight and I'm in shock....

They had a vy z51 with npp, Nav, cf exposed roof, carbon flash mirrors and spoiler, black wheels, yellow calipers with 2 lt package. Only negative was no mr! Anyway, since wife drives it more than me and my car (cts-v) has mr, decided to pull the trigger.

I think i got a pretty good deal - 68,500 out the door with some "protection" crap that i didn't really want or need. Anyway, love love love the car. What a lightyear leap forward from my vy z06.

Anyone looking for a 2006 zo6???

While a good personality is important, a machine like this is also largely about the looks. Let's see her......

Would love to oblige - but it is locked up in the dealer showroom! I drove it home to show the wife, to get gas and back to the dealer - but they seemed to want actual money before giving the keys!!! Hopefully will pick it up tomorrow.

How do you like the zero turn mower ? I need to buy one for my 6 acres. Great color choice btw on the C7. Congrats
