Not as shiny as the rest on here, but I only bought it in Sept and had slowly been working through several issues until it went into storage a couple weeks ago. It will get a paint correction in the Spring...

No, it is not the same car... You aren't t being mean at all... Perfectly legitimate question which i ask myself often. I sold it to a friend... So i can still see it.. Not sure if that is better or worse. Actually purchased a C6Z when i sold the C5Z.... It too was a fun car!!!
