Not everyones address is listed, but it makes sense that they are more prominent in southern states. Mine is only on the road form April through Thanksgiving at best.

I saw one coming down the road yesterday while in my hellcat, made me smile to see another silver Z coming down the road, that was until I saw my wife driving it and it being my car, the smile was replaced by total fear

I usually see one about every week or two, but when I do I see more Z06's than base models.

See a lot of Corvettes downtown Plymouth Massachusetts waterfront but not many C7 Z06's. Love this car my 12th and last!

We've all been here before, but several weeks ago when coming back from the airport, I came across a group of cars parked in a parking lot of a shopping center. I pulled into the parking lot, rounded a corner, and there were 2 Z07s parked next to a McLaren 570S. This was one of those moments where you don't have any preconceptions, or biases to influence your judgement. My eyes passed over the McLaren and fixated on the Vettes; end of story.

See lots of them in the Central Valley. They're nice eye candy for sure.

We just purchased an 18 Z. Admiral Blue with full length black stripes and black wheels. I was drying it off at a carwash last night and had a guy just walking by say Nice Car, what is it? I said a Batmobile. I just kept drying and he kept walking..........

2 more at my golf club. They both loved mine so much they bought one. One from a 2005 Honda S2000 with only 20,000 miles and the other from a 700 rwhp 2007 C6Z06. So now we have my SG and their black and white Zs.

An awful lot of car for $100k.

If I could have found one at the right price, my first choice would have been DSOM.

I hear you. When GM announced they were discontinuing DSOM I jumped on one 5 hrs away, late winter with snow still on the ground. $10k off sticker felt good to find the color / combo I wanted.
