Z06 ordered

Yesterday, 9/4/2014, I went to a dealer with an allocation and ordered the 2015 Corvette Z06. I am trading my 2014 Stingray.
I got the dual roof package and the A8 transmission so that is an order with two constraints. I may not get the car until next August but the wait will be fun.
I never, ever thought I would spend this much money for a car. It costs more than the first two homes we owned. My wife thought that was funny.

Why not just wait for someone to miss a few payments and repo it?

Congrats on taking the first step, hope your wait is much less then you anticipate it to be. In the meantime, you have a great C7 to drive.

Be sure to let the folks on the C7 Z06 forum know. They'll be jealous you were top of your dealer's list.

For exterior the color options are the same. For the interior, the Z06 does not offer Brownstone or light gray. The Z06 has Diamond blue (60th anniversary color, aka twilight blue) and two tone dark gray, exclusive to it's interior.

I have used Repo Czar as my name for years and no one has commented. I don't do that anymore and I never repoed cars.

I'm going to keep my C7 till the "Zora" hits the showrooms in 2017 as the long-awaited mid-engine Corvette. Z06?? Old news.

My dad did that years ago.
Tough business.
Couldn't make up some of the stories.
He kept me very far from it.
