Default Just received my new 2016 3LZ

I just sold my 2015 twin turbo mustang (it made 1046whp and ran 9.30 @150, it was yellow also) and I'm now back in the Chevy game. I took delivery of my new 2016 3LZ yesterday.
I have some 19x12 repro wheels and MT 325/30R19 on the was also

I thought just the MT 20's were a problem, that's what I heard and that is also what Mickey Thompson said also?

Congrats

The Z's acceleration is going to feel like a Mack truck compared to your mustang.

Congrats!
Just curious, does the Z feel "slower" because of the HP difference? Not sure if you had the chance to WOT it or you're still in the break zone.

What is break in lol! It really feels like a turd after coming from a 1000+whp car. I'm making an appointment to do lower pulley, CAI, meth injection, flex fuel sensor, and Corsa mid pipe.

Congrats on your new car. Looks great 👍.
The Mustang looked sharp, too ... (no cage okay at test n tune?)

The new one will be the 'hare' in the corners.
Enjoy!

I've seen a lot of yellow Vettes (and had a VY C6Z) but that's the first yellow C7Z that I thought looked awesome. Maybe it's the photos, maybe it's the sun, no idea. But it looks great!

Let us know how the MTs are. I got schooled by the MT 20s, returned them (great service for a bum product) and have 19" Nittos now.
