Default 500 mile impression

My new 2017 Z06 just clocked 500 miles. Weather in the Pacific NW has been nice this past week so I got the car out for a few drives on our country roads. I have to say I'm stoked over how terrific this car is. It definitely has met my expectations. Now that the training wheels are off I can't wait to see what it can do!

Looks good. Wish I could get my GS out, but over on this side of the State things are pretty crappy. 32F today, more snow tomorrow night.

Z looks great, it will be as much fun @ 10K miles as it is now, thrill factor never fades. I have had my Z almost a year, damm it is fantastic.

I picked up my 2017 November 5 - drove it home where it has been sleeping since with a whopping 47km, the weather is so shitty here in central Ontario that I didn't even get a chance to drive it. Reading these post make me so jealous. I hope to have my first oil change done by June - weather permitting LOL!

Yeah, I don't mind driving it in the snow. Its the sand, gravel, and salt that I don't like.

The car looks great! I picked up mine in December in San Diego, drove it home and have been driving it regularly the last two weeks. 2,300 miles and love it more all the time.

Check the PNW forum page occasionally - there's a group of us who get together for drives and gatherings on a semi-regular basis and it would be great if you joined us. We'll probably do a nice two-day Highway 2 drive this summer to the Winthrop area.

Congratulations!
