Default Made My Decision

Going in next week to place my order for a 2019 Z06 with Mike Furman. I currently own a 2001 Mag Red coupe which I bought new and will keep but I kept debating over last 3-6 months on all 3 models and decided to go with the Z06 after many post on the fourm and reading a lot. Thanks for all the advice and this is what I will order and know it might be to much red but getting what I like and makes me happy!!!

Z06 Torch Red
Z06 Black Painted Wheels
8 Speed Paddle Shift Automatic
3LZ Trim Package
Competition Seats
Adrenaline Red Seats
Carbon Fiber Instrument Panel

I have spoke to Mike and hopes to have to me by the first 2 weeks of August so I can take it to Carlisle PA for the show and also looking to get the front film wrap from Xpel. Looking forward to it and sure I will have questions over next few months on things to understand on the car or the how to do things. Also the carbon fiber ground effects I presume I can buy those or get them at Carlisle if I decided to? Thanks again. Tom

I might make ONE suggestion....get the TWO TONE SEATS....makes a BIG difference in the interior.

The 2 tone is a good idea to look into....

Sounds interesting, incl. the two-tone. Have a safe wait for the car!

Congratulations on your Vette. Very nicely optioned in my opinion. Enjoy your new Vette.

I purchased a Grand Sport last month from Mike. He was a pleasure to work with.

The two tone seat seems too busy for my taste. What I wish for is not available to me. Red interior with all black seats.

I love the red accents on the dash and door panel. Even researched how much it would be to add the accents to a black interior. Stopped when I got to the price of the door panels and the unwillingness to take apart a new car.

I have made the same decision as the OP. All red it is!

Definitely a good list and stick with the all red seats, the two tone actually distracts from the overall interior look.

Default Furman at Criswell

Right Corvette Specialist in Mike Furman, right dealership in Criswell, right option choices in a new Corvette!

Mike will get you your C7 in a timely manner. He knows everyone involved in the ordering and production process.

Thanks and going with all red seats. I guess at the end it's what I like.

Mike is great and makes all the difference. In anything you buy from anywhere you want to feel like the person cares and has a interest in your purchase and is there down the road if you have questions or a concern. That's why he will sell over 5,000 Corvettes.

Congrats on the new order!

Out of curiosity, is the current build time 10 weeks? 2nd week of August seems like longer than usual.

Not sure as Mike said plant closed last week of June and first week of July. I just figured that time frame plus I am on vacation from July 20- Aug 8 so Mike said I would be in great shape when I get back.
