Default Need For Speed
Hello this is my first post here and just felt obligated to thank everyone for all the information, I've been lurking here for months and every question I had was found here.

Anyways I'm a fitness youtuber, just moved back home to Hawaii, and had the need for speed. I was torn between a GTR and vette, I'm glad I went vette. Here's my 2014 z51 3LT.

Mods waiting to be added: Borla X pipe, Z06 grill, V1 radar
(Really wanna go headers but warranty is strict here )

Looks like a Panther in the jungle, very sinister.

Great choice, I ran into the same dilemma when I got ready to purchase my next hot ride. I ended up buying a 2016 Z51 and I love it. Maybe i'll see you around I am on Oahu.

I certainly understand the Need For Speed. And, you OBVIOUSLY have good taste... since that's exactly like the new '17 I'm picking up day-after-tomorrow from Kerbeck's! Hehehe!
