Default C7 Z06 Debut at the CIAS in Toronto

Thanks to Livio @ GM who was able to get me into this event. Here's a video of the debut, and some pictures below. It looks great in the new grey.

It's even nicer in person, I love my C7, but this thing is over the top!

Your welcome, thanks for coming out and the great photo's/video.

I'm actually not with GM Canada or Wilson-Niblett for that matter as many think I am.

I think in a previous life I was with GM Canada and you just never know what the future may hold.

It was great to see everyone having a great time.

Livio

I'll just throw my own THANK YOU VERY MUCH LIVIO in here too, I was a very last minute add to the guest list and I'm very thankful and appreciative I could attend.

It was a very exciting and well done event from my perspective and the 2015 Z06 speaks for itself, simply awesome machine.

I found the GM team put on a great reveal today.

p.s. I'm actually a Ford guy for 21 years now, so I managed to get over and crash the Ford reveals right after this one and the presentation was dismal to say the least. Ford has good products coming out right now, but the Z06 is the "star" of the CIAS IMHO!

The red Z/28 hiding over to the left looked pretty darn hawt too!

Thumbs up for a great morning!

Hmmmm.........doesn't look as agressive as the yellow one floating around.......and not as low either. Maybe this one is at the 'real' car height

I went yesterday, loved the Vettes that were displayed throughout the show, not just at the GM display.

Nothing special as for the 2015 car of the year.
I can't believe how much manufacturers are spending on electric cars, be it concept or production. I don't think this world is ready for this, yet, it's too risky and people are not buying into it.

^^ When the Model S came out from Telsa, I almost put the $5k down to reserve one. I didn't because I was concerned if the company would be around.

There is a good Electric Car documentary on GM "Who Killed the Electric Car" check that out if you're interested, I really enjoyed this one.

Another one "Revenge of the Electric Car" is interesting as Danny Devito narrates it. It really shows how Tesla was near bankruptcy and going public saved its life. My concern was valid it turns out.

I'm going back on Sunday to see the whole show (After my 6-9am beer fest watching Team Canada at Real Sports) - I didn't know there were Stingrays all over the event, I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Stingray Displays are as follows:

South Building

GM display has two (red and white on the floor) plus the ZO6 on the public accessible stage.
Black one outside the main display room as you head to the escalators.

North Building

Lower level, in the Auto Exotica display room there's two (Laguna Blue & Black).

Enjoy the game (GO CANADA! ) and the show.
