Well the least you could have done was taken better and more pictures----I still have not seen it inperson...
Everybody has different tastes, and all Corvettes look great, but in my opinion I would NEVER put negative comments out there about a fellow forum members choice-just sit o them
With that being Said thanks for the so-so photos (only kidding) and I will pick up the car the end of the week if my 2015 Orange ZO6 is not sold--it will then head to auction next weekend in Pennsylvania....Thanks again...
Harvey
PS By the way the Brownstone Interior is why I ordered the Orange again(Love the Orange)------to me its the nicest Interior GM has ever put into a Corvette...H

The orange is going to look great with the brownstone interior. Can't wait to see one. I have not seen a color that the z06 looks bad in yet.

That hood is DAMN expensive if you don't order it on your car. Hopefully it would be at a discount, but I believe retail on that hood is over $8k.
