Both cars look absolutely amazing! Can't go wrong with either honestly.


I love the color combo on the Z06. It really pops, especially with the Kalahari top.

Nice. Congrats, OP. Both sweet rides. Top down capability should change things up for you.

I did! The front supercharger bearing failed or was making noise and the GM at the dealer is good friends with me and made me a deal I could not turn down. Both cars are great and I will miss the ZR1, but the new one is a great replacement and I love the new technology.

That has to be one of the finest looking Zr1's that I've seen.

Nice cars.

Now you own a 10 second convertible. I am sure that you will jazz it up a little

I did the same thing. I let the wheels go too no regrets on the car.

Miss the wheels. Have black 2015's now.

Zr1 was mean looking. Tough choice but I'm sure you will enjoy driving the new z06.
