Default Z #5 Finally home

In Aug of 2014 I actually ordered a 2015 Z and wound up cancelling the order 3 days later. Till this day I'm not exactly sure why I cancelled, other than feeling the time just wasn't right for me to have the new Z. At the time I had my Viper TA and C6Z. I knew at some point Id eventually upgrade my Z to a newer one.

Anyway the stars finally aligned for the new Z when I came across this one in its third year in production.

The very last weekend in April, me and my best bud loaded up the ole Lingenfelter C6Z and headed from NY to SC with her riding on the trailer following us. We had a blast of a trip and was able to visit my sister who lives in NC on the way home.

moving on...

This car was dealer ordered and was just the way I would've ordered it with the exception of 1 thing, and that was it would've had the comp seats...really sucks this one didn't have them...

I have to admit it was hard letting my C6Z (Lingenfelter 660) go as that car was plenty fast, raw and never had an issue. I have no doubt it was faster than the new Z (straight line of course) but I'm sure eventually Ill mod this 1 although I'm telling myself Ill hold out as long as possible.

This is my 5th Z06 and I'm hoping this one will bring as much headache free pleasure as the others did. As many of you know I also had a 2011 ZR1 which was an awesome car.

When I got back to NY, she was taken straight to my buds garage for a full detail and expel. She sat there until today. Today she finally made it home.

So without further ado

2017 ZO6/ZO7 3LZ M7












Z in tow^^

Some of the ole Lingenfelter







^^ look at that paint, car was a 2007




^^in friends garage after some detailing^^^


getting expelled or xpelled...or whatever




And here is where her home is...

Great looking Z...Like the yellow racing stripes...Sets it apart from some of the others......Love to know what the C-6 Lingenfelter went for.....Car was beautiful......I'm guessing high 30s or even 40K....??? Maybe low 40s?

Black with yellow stripes, very bold and distinctive - looks good! Also, it looks like you know how to take of black colored cars.

And yet some will still call you a "Viper troll that hates the C7"

​​​In all seriousness though, congrats! The car looks fantastic. Hope you enjoy it!

Congrats on your new Z Looks great. Your Lingenfelter Z was very nice, but I'm sure you will love the new one in every way. Anxious to hear your impressions of the Z compared to your ACR.Enjoy the new ride.

Good looking color combo. I also like the rendering 2 posts up with the yellow trim on the side skirts. I would do that, along with the front splitter too.
