Default my new ride

well this is my first attempt at cleaning my vette way easier to clean than my old WS6....looks decent considering it was like 20 mph winds the whole time I was washing it and the pollen is out already....by the way the stock brake pads on these Z's can kiss my ***....looked like I dunked my rims in Soot before I washed it.
Details...Vararam Intake, skip shift elim, 555R drag radials 11K miles

I gotta agree with the others and say you got the best color. Looking good. I like the wheels on yours better than mine. Great looking vette and if I remember correctly you got a steal of a deal on this one. Do you know if those are Lloyds mats?

why was it easier to clean than your ws6? Smoother body lines?

Looks good- yeah tint would make a big difference if you could find someone you trust to do it right... nothing looks worse than a bad tint job.

have you ever seen the front end on a ws6....and the rear end...getting under the spoiler and drying was a bitch....the front, all the nooks and crannies, fog lights, etc
Z...much easier...if it warms up a bit today I'm going to wash it again
