The new Red Demon has arrived! 2017 Z
I've had it for a couple days now and even managed to drive it once! I have a lot of plans but for now I'm just trying to get it fully assembled and a catch can installed. Tint and a ceramic coating are scheduled and I have a borla xpipe on the way. Eventually I'll end up with pulley, ported everything and a tune but I'm going to avoid that until the warranty expires-ish.

Congrats on the Z06. If you ever need anything dealer related, we take care of a lot of Chico, Orland, and Paradise Corvette owners.

Nice car. You'll have to change the name when the new Demons come out.

Thanks everyone! I have the side skirts, just need some help installing them so they are off for now. I asked for no PDI and they obliged, everything was in the trunk including the scrape guard when I got it, still sore from installing everything . I purchased an ACS kit, at about half the cost it was a no brainer and I don't mind installing it myself. My buddy is getting my stock splitter/skirts for his stingray convertible so nothing is going to waste.

What kind of system (if any) did you use to soap your car down with?
That's a heck of a spread for soap solution. I wouldn't mind checking that system out.
Thanks

I bought a cheap electric pressure washer and a foam "cannon" from amazon to attach to it. I use chemical guys Mr. Pink soap to get the suds. The whole setup was sub $100 and it lathers the car up pretty good. You can also get foam guns that attach to your hose and are almost as good for about $40 on amazon, I used one for years and was happy.

Gracias! So that whole demon thing was pure coincidence, I just pulled it out of thin air without realizing the Dodge Demon was just announced. Probably should have used a different descriptive word .
