Sorry, red leather screams White Snake from 1980.

Looks cheap, just my opinion.

Driving thru Naples,FL there where three in a row, Z06's, with Michigan Manufacturer's plates. We followed them until they parked. Talked to the guys for a minute, they had said there where four more in the fleet with them. They went to a park though They where employee's of GM, driving around, putting miles on the cars, collecting data. They cars where covered in bugs splats, covered. I would say these are the same Z06's that where on 75 between Miami and Naples that another member spotted the other day. This marks the first Z06 I have seen in person

Small world. I was at that dealership on Saturday specifically to see if I can fit in a new Z06 since I'm 6'7" tall. Unfortunately they wouldn't let me sit in it. AWESOME looking car in person though. I especially like it in black. Now I wish I would have snapped a picture when my M3 was parked right next to it.

Congrats!

I some what agree with you,i have a ZO6 With ZO7 package. I purchased it from a dealer who had it in stock. It has chrome wheels and I have been trying to trade for black. But most of people that sees this car loves the chrome wheels. Go figure!

I did sit in a Stringray and I needed another inch to keep the back of my head from hitting the front side of the upper B pillar area.

The competition seats supposedly allow you to sit a little bit lower, so I'm hoping that is the case. The only real way to be sure is to sit in one that is configured as I would buy it.

Exactly!!...Chrome or bright wheels like the nickel pearl makes the C7 pop just makes the sexy lines of the car stand out more....

Wow, great stuff.....why do some of the stage one set ups look different. Different rear spoilers and with and without the front spoiler?

Your black wheels will get the same reaction as gold "80's" wheels in a few years.....chrome rules (why do you think chrome /silver cragars have stood the test of time) ?

Things are looking up after tint (15% side/back, airblue80 front), clay, wash, and wax ... her V8SC dd sister got treated as well. Tomorrow: glamour pics.

Never early thought about Shark Gray Metallic, but with the black wheels and red breaks, it is a very sharp looking ride......Enjoy
