Default Traded in the Stingray - Z06/Z07

Finally got my iMac to cooperate with my iPhone so I can post some pics. Picked up this 2015 Z06/Z07 with 6500 miles two weeks ago. Besides a few minor issues, I'm very happy. Man, i thought the Stingray was fast....this thing is ridiculous. Now I just have to install the Tony Mamo TB and I'll be set!Name:  IMG_1123.JPG

Thanks Man! I previously had a yellow '01 Z06 and I always wanted to get a Z06 again. I think I'll be good for a while now....

I did the same thing.
Bought a new 17 Stingray in Aug. of 16.
Traded it in Sept. of 17 on a new 17 Z06.
Life is very good!

That's a very good question. Up where I'm at it's been fairly cool outside (and rainy) so it's really hard for me to see where the tires are at performance-wise. Once we start to warm up and the tires can actually grip I'll have a better idea. Honestly though, I bet they don't have too much life left, even though there's plenty of tread.

Just a vinyl wrap purchased from online, so wasnt expensive, and can be removed if it grows old, did it when I did the stinger.

What source or vendor? Was it difficult to install? Considering doing the same with mine.
