Default New member . . . First Corvette - Make it a Z06 :)

Long time BMW guy and recently got my wife a Porsche Cayman, but the C7 piqued my interest. And, after having my M4 convertible for 15 months, I finally decided to sell it so I could pick up a new Z06. Thanks to Chris at Rick Hendrick in Duluth, GA for making a deal work.

Pics - My M4, the new Z06 as of last Friday and just for fun my 66 GTO that I finished last year (been in the family since new).
