Congrats

One piece of advice - Be careful - you don't have 4-wheel traction off the line like the Evo. The Z will plant you into a tree if you're not careful

Welcome to the forum.

Where was that second shot taken at? The dealer or your garage?

Wow, 510whp + AWD will break your neck launching off the line! Glad to hear you love the Z though, they are no doubt awesome all around sports cars. Good luck with it.

Congrats on the new Z. I just picked mine up over the weekend also. I have not parked mine yet. I have put miles on it everyday this week and will continue to do so. Enjoy the new vette, I know I am mine.
