Default Yeehaa!

Bought mine today. 3LZ DSOM. Had been stuck at 1100 status for 3 months with a local dealer and decided I'd had enough. Got on the internet and found the car I was wanting. Thank you Peter at Jorns Chevrolet.

I got it! My one word review is "WOW!" The car is in perfect shape so far as I can see. No orange peel. Everything is fits together perfectly, including my butt in the seat. At this point - knock on wood - I have no complaints whatsoever. Pic will be posted when I finally take some. It has been hectic lately.

I bought it off the floor so didn't have much choice. The dealer was nice enough to delete the luggage and cover, however. And while I didn't order the dual roof, carbon fiber dash or 3LZ when I placed my original order, I am glad I have them now that I have the car.

To me, the 3LZ was worth it. I had a 2LT 2014 Z51, so I can directly compare. For me, the sueded microfiber upper interior package and Napa leather in the 3LZ was worth the additional few thousand over what would have been a 2LZ + Nav/PDR.
Congrats OP!

Congratulations!

I have been on the fence re. DSOM until yesterday when I saw one on the road. In some pictures the DSOM looks like too much color. Well, in real life it is beautiful. The car was slowly driving by in the normal high-season traffic jams on Fort Myers Beach. This was just before sunset. At first it looked red, then I realized it was the rare DSOM. It looked serious, aggressive.

Heck, the Z06 is awesome in any color. You'll love that car.
