Default Ordered Z

Well I have been playing around with getting a Z06 after trading my 12 z06 for Z51 C7 been disappointed ever since. Wife finally said yes but I have to get auto dam. So torch red, auto, Nav/PDR, standard wheels no like black. Drop off z51 Friday order placed today. Will have only one car for a while two drivers my 89 IROC side lined with Broken fuel pump, and my 97 z28 with blown head gasket and hydro locked. So that's how my luck has been running lately.

At 2000 already waiting begins dealer had allocation yes moving right along was thinking 2017. But I can't think of any reason to wait till October to get one, there will be the usual price increase ugh. I don't understand every year price increase there were years when nothing was added to base to warrant the increase

Wow I test drove an A8 today and all I can say is wow. I put my ZR1 up for sale and am looking to get it tomorrow after I go look at one at another dealer with Gray interior to make sure I will like it. Pretty sure I will. The car I have been looking at is 104 miles away and my dealer is doing a deal to get it. All nice people I am dealing with. It will be Arctic White 3ZR.

You'll love it. I was going to order a C7, but my wife told me I'm not getting any younger and to go for the Z06. She didn't have to tell me twice. Semper Fi

They should have let you keep your trade until the new one arrives.

Torch red is a nice colour. Be prepared for a lot of attention.
