Default It's Here! It's Here! (Pics, Lots)

More pics added

Well, the day I was anxiously and sleeplessly waiting for is here. The Z arrived this morning in Northern Washington and I drove two hours from B.C Canada to pick her up. It was a gorgeous sunny day. Probably could have drove it home but can't predict the weather at this time of year. Major Perma-grin all the way home with several stops on the way to peek in on my new ride. What a beauty! Just as QS Z06 described it. No issues whatsoever with the transport company. If you would like a great reference to a great hauler please pm me. Got her home and immediately removed the dust from the trip(just a skiff). This car looks brand new. The first person up to the car asks "Is that an 04 Z06?" More Perma-grin. The sound of the engine with Tpis headers and corsa exhaust was awesome. Pure power, even at idle. Won't make this too long as the pics will speak for themselves.
Thanks John for the immaculate new addition to our garage.

My tow rig......ChevyPower!

Sorry, don't know the % but it is pretty dark and I may be questioned about it when the car goes through inspection here. Time will tell. It really sets the car off so I hope I don't have to lighten it. Luv it!

Absolutely gorgeous ride! I remember the day I drove my '04 TR Z home from the dealer and it still sends chills down my spine! Enjoy...

Not too many pics for me. I can look at the Z06's all day long. Your car is one of the most beautiful cars in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have it in silver and went crazy deciding between silver or yellow (I had a yellow 59, yellow 65 and yellow 69). I happened to find a like new low mile silver Z and do love it- finding a perfect Z is what made the descision for me. I would like to have one yellow and one silver.
Maybe in a year or 2 I might be able to get a 07 or 08 Z06 and I would not be getting it for looks as I feel the C5 Zo6's look better. I can not pass on the 6 piston brakes, all the fluid coolers, 505hp-. It is a better car when it is moving but when both cars are not moving the C5 has my attention.

Very clean. Congrats. I would bet that that tint is 20% all the way around as it looks darker than the 35% I have on the sides of mine.

Enjoy

Hi MYZED06_EH -

IF you can't share your pics with your Corvette friends, who can you share them with?

Bring em on!

Congrats on the new ride and thanks for the pics.

I always wonder how you get out of the car once it is in the trailer - I know I could not get my butt out of it with the door open 16 degrees....

best regards -

mqqn
