Default Picked up new Z, got pics!!!

OK, so I picked up my 17 BRM Z06 with Z07 package, Comp seats, PDR, Grey Calibers and Carbon Fiber Thursday...

I put it on my trailer and brought it to Lance at Clear Pro to get 75%+ of the car done with Expel clear bra, then picked it up last night. I've only got 50 miles on it from the drive home last night, but can say I having FUN so far!!!

Caught the sunset last night, and a few pics with my new Ipone7+ this morning...

I headed out the door now to get the break in miles done. Lucky for me, the racetrack/canyon is out my back door!!!


I'll grab a few more pics on the ride, plus have some feed back on what I think of how it drives later today.


Enjoy the pics...

Looks beautiful. Is that the factory-installed Jake stinger on the hood?

WOW, had a blast with the first 150 miles, keep it cool though... The canyons work well to break in the motor.

I'm going to over kill it, and drop the oil now, then again at 500.

Headed down to the garage to make the drop, so I can get back out to the canyons today!!

Need to get the first 500 done before I head to Sema in a few days...

Absolutely gorgeous...
I was thinking of getting the new blue color, after seeing your pics I'm strongly looking at this color.

Man, just love that color on a Z. You could get me to switch from silver!
