Time to Say Good Bye
Well after almost 7 years here I will be leaving you. I just brought home a new (to me) 2007 Monterey Red 3LT with 11,000 miles.
Here it is.
It is not a 06. Although the previous owner installed the Z06 rear quarters and the black chrome Z06 rims, the badge is a Z51 400HP, which will be coming off, as I don't want to make people think it is a Z06, not my style.

Very nice! Good luck with the C6. Did you trade in your C5 or sell it outright?
Will you be attending the Pier Show on 9/1?

It says Z51 400HP as I said it is a 3LT and it has the Z51 option.
Yes I did trade the C5 and I will be at the Pier Show.

Good for you. A beautiful car you got there. If I had it, off the badges, and then I'd start modding the motor. Doesn't your car have different front fenders, or are the ZO6 scoops an addition?

The Z51 badges from a distance, looks like a Z06 badge. with the wheels and the rear quarter panels, people would think it to be a Z06 until they got up close. I want to remove them, because I don't like the idea that people would think I was trying to pass it off as a Z06. Just me, but they will be gone in the next day or so.
