Default Pics as promised.


Thats me trying to clean out my dad's car for the "photoshoot" but it got dark so quickly.





Thats Steve, our tour guide.


I gotta admit, NCM prepped the car really well. They used their own wax, and even after a long drive, the bug splats wiped right off as if it was on a laminated glass surface.

Ah yes, the Z2 is the first "mod"

Great story and nice read

Congrats on the new toy. I went thru the list myself. Took out the M3 when it fell a little short and didnt want to wait for the GTR.

Enjoy that bad boy

Congrats Ram! Glad to see you did not purchase your Z from those greedy salespeople @ Maxie Price, Monica screwed over 100 of us corvetteforum members before they were kicked off as supporting dealers!
Black is beautiful(same as mine) Also had a museum delivery last september That was the best bang for the buck!
Drive careful

I'm not used to performance cars and it takes a lot of attention to drive this thing especially since its so wide. Love it, love it!

I don't know how you guys drive this thing to the redline, the damn thing pulls like I've got a couple of roman candles attached

Thanks for your responses everyone. I'll attach a few pics in just a few minutes.
I read somewhere that driving a Z is like driving a car with a booster rocket attached to your right foot.
Congratulations and welcome to the perma grin club!

Haha, yea I know right. I was hiding half the time.

Well, the water situation is quite dire. I didn't hose the car down, just used 3 buckets of water. Probably not the best way, but oh well.

Now the question is......... Have you started your shopping list for the goodies you're going to add to your car????? I have only 100 miles on mine, and I have already purchased half a dozen things to put on. Addiction. That's all I can say. Enjoy!!!!!
