Default VIN 1538 Arrives

The dealer just emailed me and sent over pics they took, my Z06 is on the ground in WI! I'm out of town for a week for the holidays so won't be able to view it in person until next week and probably 3 - 4 months until driving it when the weather turns in WI/MN . It is going to be a long, cold, impatient winter. There are not too many pics out there of Blade Silver cars so I thought I'd share these for those who may be waiting on their own. I'll get much clearer pics to post if anyone wants to see them upon my return. This is the base / level 1 aero, exposed carbon fiber roof, gray wheels, MT, 2LZ Red with carbon fiber dash, and thats it for options.

Congratulations on the Z06! Very few of them in the badger state. Where are you located and what dealer? Bet this is the first time vacation will seem to long!

Last year I got one of the first Stingrays in the state but had to snag it out of Minnesota as there were no allocations in the northern part of the state. Same story this year on the Z06.

I live right across the border in MN, bought from Johnson Motors in New Richmond (all dealers I spoke with in MN had a wait list and Johnson was able to order one right up for me in mid October with no one else on the list)

Funny, must be more fun to get them across the border. Not all the MN were gone, Forest Lake didn't have any takers when their allocation came up last week.

Awesome, beautiful car. I'm 1598, hoping mine will be here shortly. I checked OnStar and it looks like it's been moved to the truck loading line.

I didn't check with them, tried Stillwater Motors, Merit, and I think one other I can't recall. I work in Somerset so this dealership is only 10 mins from the office. I can't wait to get back and at least listen to the engine, maybe some burnouts in the maintenance bay

Looks great! I saw blade silver at the International Auto Show in Orlando and just could not believe how awesome it looked on the new Z06. The silver accentuates all of the body lines better than the darker colors IMO.
Nice build. I did BS/AR with spectra gray wheels too.
