So do you like the power?

After 3 years with my Z51 which I loved I caved into my fantasy of getting something with ridiculous power. It's intoxicating.

Nice!

My Z51 was AW. Stunning color on the C7. I had to try something new on the Z06 (and it hides dirt better).

i love how you kept the same color and theme from your previous one. I originally wanted to find a pre owned laguna blue z06 but the dealership i bought the white from gave me a great price on my car and gave me a huge discount since it was one of two of their last 17's
