Default It arrived!

Showed today and it will be Monday before I can pick it up.




But they let me uncover my own Z06.
I got what looked to be a nice silver paint.
Just 1 spot on the passenger seat that dictates ( I hope) a new seat bottom.
Poor quality on the leather on the one spot. Otherwise car looked defect free.

Was it hard finding a helmet to fit in the 9XXL EX large?
Or was the EGO suit tougher?

When your at the track making passes with 37 miles on the car.
Adding drag radials skinney's. Your car is already going by the way of the dogs by the beatings when it is not broken in. Brake's and the drive train all needed that 1500 BREAK IN miles.

Laughing at me is too funny! The joke is not on me.

I think the SG took away some and I far prefer the silver.
I wonder if SG benefited from the name. Next year when you see before you buy. I see the sales dropping. Ok color all havge merit but not a lead seller IMO
So resale will be a snap. But mine may not have a resale.
