Back in Black, C7 black that is, and it feels good to be back LOL
Hey all,
Ron here aka Pzilly, picked up my new C7 Z51 back in December, it's been he'll not being able to drive it much yet as the PA winter has been mostly cold and ice. I did manage to squeak it over the the Xpel and ceramic coat guy a week ago, he called yesterday said it's now a wet black mirror, gonna cure over the weekend....sorry super excited lol.
This is my second time w a Black vette, I still actually have my C4, my dad and i got it 25 or so years ago, it's been in storage for last ten years.
I wanna say thank to all you members, the last year I swore I was buying either an 03 black Ferrari 360 or a red 430, but the C7 just kept popping up, I mean i remember first one I saw, was walking through a parking garage in Denver and there was a Red and black beauty....Damn that thing was hot looking, but yet I still was thinking Ferrari.... well just by chance a nice Black C6 was for sale at a lot down the street, I have been toying w buying a C6 or C5 to make a track car so I took it for a test ride, car was nice and clean, 20k miles but price was too high. Then he said lets go drive this new one......hahaha Well after that drive I was hooked.... while that dealer and I couldn't come to a deal 3 hours away was a dealer that could....and here she is..... (This was before I took it to be polished and protected, I'll update when it gets back)
Thanks again guys for answering questions and giving me hours of threads to help make my decision!!!!!

Welcome, Ron!
Your C7 already looks sharp, so it'll be great with the ceramic coat!

I'm going to move this thread over to the C7 General section since you have been a member for a few months and have a number of posts already under your belt. Very nice looking C7 you bought.
