Default 2017 Admiral Blue Checking Inn

Hey guys,

Picked this babe up a few weeks ago. I sold my 2007 H/C Z06 and moved up to a new Z. It's a base 1LZ A8, pretty much a stripped down optioned car other than the A8 transmission which is exactly what I wanted. The admiral blue reminds me of the lemans blue from 2006/2007.

Such a sweet ride. It's a lot different from my H/C C6Z (556 RWHP). Here are some pics I absolutely love the deep blue color.

Man does that A8 shift lightning quick @ WOT. Been all smiles and grins ever since the purchase.

Admiral blue is starting to grow on me buddy. Thats a nice one. Congrats and enjoy. C7 is light years ahead on the inside and out. Also came from a lightly modified 08.

Congrats.

Int in hearing straight line performance comparison to your old H/C Z. I just got rid of my Lingenfelter C6Z and I'm pretty sure it was faster (straight line) than the new one.

Yeah the old car is faster in a straight line but we are comparing a bone stock car to a pretty well modified one. The new one is such a nicer all around car.
