I must tell you that I live in the greater St Louis are on the Ill side. Have had the Z since early February and have not seen another Z. In fact I haven't seen many C7 at all. Where are they all hiding?😄

Mine is at the dealer till I get back Monday. I've only seen 2 Z06's and a hand full of Stingrays in STL.

I've literally seen more Enzos than Z06s so far (only been a month). Only seen one or two other Stringrays. Might be the area (lots of Microsoft people) but the reaction has been 100% positive, sort of to my surprise. I was expecting a lot of 1%er hate and so on but everyone loves it!

Houston here. I don't have a Z yet. Still debating whether to go for the '16 or hold out for the '17 (more bug fixes).

For being such a big city, I'm surprised I have only seen 1 C7 Z on the road. A black one. I've only seen maybe 6 or so C7 Stingrays. Granted that I live on the west side of town and perhaps they all live on the East side. But, I would have thought they'd be all over the place.

Anywho, Congrats to all of you who already have your Z's. Good on ya. Such a gorgeous ride.

They've already made twice as many C7 Zs as they made C6 ZR1s total.

These will not be hard to spot as time goes on. I've seen at least a half a dozen of them in addition to mine in Wichita - metro population of 500k.

There are a bunch in Palm Beach County, Florida. I was having Expel put on recently and there were only 3 cars at the shop at that time and all were 2016 Z06's and all 3 were Shark Gray. What are the odds of that?

This blue Z06, parked in Zion National Park, resides in St Louis. On a 3500+ mile trip from Missouri to Utah(through eight states and eight national parks), we saw around a dozen C7's(not including the one in our group) but none were Z06's.
