Default Our New Z06 Was Finally Delivered

The 2015 Z06 finally came in yesterday. Most of you know that we couldn't resist temptation and ended up ordering a Z06.

Specs:

2015 Z06 w/ Z07 package
Arctic White, with Adrenaline Red Interior
3LZ package
CFZ carbon fiber package
Carbon fiber interior
Competition Seats
Carbon Flash stripe, mirrors and spoiler
PDR package
Black wheels
Red Calipers

I took it home last night and put about 125 miles on it. We will be easy on it for 500-600 miles, but I am already impressed with the effortless power. The torque is instant, even at part throttle and the exhaust note is amazing. It is much louder than a C6Z or ZR1 was. The ride is significantly stiffer than the 2014 C7 was, even in touring mode. The cup tires have less than zero traction in cold weather.

I think this is going to be one helluva car once broken in.

Here are a few pics from this morning. Sorry, it was still a little dark and foggy.

We have one more allocation that will probably get picked up in a couple months.

Wow, beautiful...exactly as I'd likely order mine!

BTW, we need to talk about scheduling the work on my C5Z. I ordered from Steve at RSD. Should be ready to go with all parts in a few weeks.
