Default Replaced 2017 GS

I got rid of Admiral Blue GS A8. Got a new left over 2016 Z06 Arctic White
Z06. I just did not like auto or paddle shifting. Got 20% off Z06

How many miles did the GS have when you traded it?

3000. We’re retired with three cars and a Harley. Nothing gets lots of miles.

I tried to love the paddles too on a Jaguar F-Type, but couldn't. Welcome back to the old-school side.

Good to hear your update & pics of your new 2016 Arctic White ZO6 M7, Sergeant.

Might see you out and about one day? I'm near I-30 East @ Hwy 190 George Bush Tollway.

I'm luvin' my new 2017 C7 Arctic White M7 base vert I bought in Houston, 24 November 2017, and brought up to Dallas on Sunday....

I wouldn't have it any other way - M7!

M7 ... I know what you mean, I chose the M7 for my 2017 GS after having an auto in the last two Corvettes that I owned and I'll never go back again. Love you new Z, it looks awesome!

Stunning in white. Subtle & Swift. You may not put many miles on, but those you do are probably very enjoyable. Always have to consider enjoyment per mile.

That's a nice looking Z! The M7 in these cars is pretty easy to handle, especially with the active rev-matching. Someone with very little experience driving a stick could probably get along just fine in one of these.

Every DD I have owned for 55 years has been a standard shift.

I worry that when ready for a mid engine might not have a choice-we'll see!

Car screams Miami Vice!!! Very nice. A C7 is one of the few cars built that pops in white.

Glad to see you worked out that gravity-warp you seemed to have been in initially!
