Default Just another Red Z....(pics)

I was thinking of selling my 23k mile beauty a few times. I even posted ad's here on the forum & got some very good inquiries.....then I rented a C6 convertable in Florida for a few days to kinda compare........I decided then I'm keeping myZ.

Hey, very nice looking car you have. You made a good choice in deciding to keep the car. Now, it's time to lower it a bit

This just proves the point that a C5 Z06 just has a different appeal than the C6's.

Great looking Z06, Torch Red looks sweet!

Or you could have both. I love my Z, but I also like driving the Vert.
Your car looks really good. Arrest Me Red is good on ZO6's.
