Default Let's see those Z06 Carbon editions.

Here I'll start with #171. I'm really amazed at how few people realize these were made in 2011.

Buddy of mine has one...practically stole it from a dealer that took it on a trade. The guys working at the dealer that day didn't know it was a Carbon and sold it at pricing on par with a standard Z06. Sales manager called him back the next day to say there was a "mix up"...my buddy said, "tough sh*t". Truth be told, I like the blue better...wish I had one.

LOL! Typical dealers....they have no clue what they are selling. I had the local Cadillac dealer here try to tell me (I am CTS V shopping) that Vs never came in crystal red. Then when I showed him a pic of one on my phone...they said it must have been custom painted! WTF!

Yeah, they can never admit they're wrong. Just say, "I wasn't aware of that" and move on...

#207
First year with the car. Brought it to a number of shows this past summer. Biggest complement from people was the SSB colour and the suede interior. People generally just love the Carbon Edition. Especially the ones that know the car and the reason why the limited Carbon was made!

I also have never seen a IO in person, but the ones in the pics above look awesome!

Great gift that's certainly rare from a dealer.

The SSB Carbon Z is by far my favorite Z06 of all time!!!...C7Z's included...

Funny, Talking to a sales manager last week about the overheating with the C7Z those were his exact words

Looks like you've extended the front splitter, or maybe running an aftermarket piece (forgive me if you've already posted a write up on this) - could you share the details please? Thanks.
