Default I just "joined the club", the ZO6 club that is.

Santa must have gotten my message saying that the ZR1 was lonely in the garage... because he left a Torch Red Rocket Sled next to it with a note that said "go ahead and be naughty, very naughty".




2012 Torch Red over Ebony 3LZ.

Thanks guys. Here are the dealer's photos in the link below. They are much better than the quick snaps I shot in the freezing (well for Texas anyway) cold.

Congrats, great looking car

There must be something in the air in Austin, I just traded my 09 C6 vert on a 09 C6Z black/ebony in San Antonio. Will be parked next to my 09 Dodge Ram and girl's 10 370Z Roadster.

Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate it! Congrats also to Bill on picking up his black ZO6 - looks mean!

I was wanting to buy the Cyber Gray 2012 ZO6 3LZ Carbon Package that Les Stanford has, but I needed to make a trade in to free up a parking spot and they are in Michigan... . To me, their car is the perfect C6 ZO6, but my garage is full of Corvettes (now) and my shop is full of Camaros. So, adding a vehicle was not feasible - I know, first world problem The 2002 Procharged, fully built Z28 that I had been trying to sell went towards this ZO6. Starwood Motors in Dallas really appreciated all the work and money that had been put into the Camaro and gave me a fair deal. Their ZO6 is virtually brand new with an in service date of Jan 28, 2012, so I headed up to Dallas. The Corvette turned out to be 99.99% mint so we did the deal.

The Torch Red with chrome spyders is really striking and a couple Corvette friends have already told me they are glad I didn't get the Cyber Gray since my ZR1 is SSB. They told me it's nice to have a flashier color to contrast with the SSB - and I'm starting to agree.

It's a nasty rainy cold day, so I just opened the garage doors and pulled the cover off the back of the ZR1. Sorry, but best I can do with the weather right now:

also, you need to come back in a month and talk about your opinions on the two cars - how they're different and what you like about them individually. Naturally, you will post several pictures when you do this.
