Default Z06 Beast

This car is a beast. I'm so glad I made the jump from a standard C7 to a Z06.

Just picked up a Z06 from your hometown dealer Friday. Also triple black but the top goes down. A 600 mile trip each way for me.

Very nice choice there, Mr Jones.

Awesome ride!!! Black is a job to keep clean, but no color can beat it's sharpness when it's waxed & prestine.

night and day difference. I've parked it for now until my side skirts come in and my xpel appointment. Rocks seem to just love flying up the sides of the car.

It is a beautiful car...yes, indeed!

I have a 2014 CGM Z51 M7 and am more than happy with it...in fact I am ecstatic!

Just a couple of questions for you....

Why are you "so glad" you made the "jump" from a "standard" C7 to a Z06?

Other than the wheels and spoiler, doesn't look any different from a Z51 or "standard" C7....

I know you don't use the extra 200 hp on the street....so what is the attraction, other than the badge and bragging rights?????

I will answer for him it is THE BADGE AND BRAGGING RIGHTS which makes sense if you can afford the Z06!

Huh?

Day and night difference at every level. Everything you love about your Z51 magnified by 10.

Oh, I can afford it, but have better things to do with 30 grand than blow it on something I will l never use on the street, and I do not track my car, just to impress some clueless clowns who don't know a Z06 from a Prius.
If you actually track it and use the power, then that makes sense...if not, you're just insecure and 99.9% of the peeps on the street have no clue that your Z06 is "oh so cool"....

Oh, and I just noticed, Mr. Newbie, do you even own a stingray, much less a Z06, with your whopping 15 posts this month?
