Well I did it !!! I'm back in the saddle!!!
Just bought a new 2017 ZO6 LBRM with Spice Red Interior (3lz), and Carbon Ceramic Brakes.
I have attached photos. I purchased it from George Matick Chevy in Michigan. It will be shipped to me shortly. I had a great experience with Alan Johnson and Scott Trocker. So far so good I will update as I get a shipping time frame and of course video the delivery. I hope it's as mint as it looks!!!
Now I need the must have mod list!! :
1. Interior sound reading
2. DSC, perhaps??
3. Mud flaps
4. Novistrech nose bra??
5. Paint correction and ceramic pro application??
6. Alignment
Feel free to add to my list or dispute the need of any mod.
I really want to keep the mods to a mimimum. The heavy modding on past Corvettes got out of hand. I want significant mods and not to many.
I hope the photos attached, they are from George Matick in Mi. I have yet to see the car.
Thanks again to Al and Scott, they really made is easy and a no brainer.
I'd also like to especially thank Foosch for taking my many phone calls and questions. His generosity with his time and straight answers really helped. As they said in the Movie Good Will Hunting, "My boy is wicked smart" and yes he is that smart.
Thank you Clay!!

Congrats. Great color combo. I think you would be happier with a clear, protective film like Expel Ultra than the Novi stretch.
Enjoy the new Z.

Thanks Folks, I have to say I have been waiting a long time to get back. Two kids in college was brutal lol..... I could not be happier, or more excited. My first car was a 1972 Mazda 606. It was a tiny car that didn't have power steering or anything. It actually had a manual choke. It was a **** you had to pull out of the dash to start the car. Just like a lawnmower, and it had a 1300 CC engine !!! If you turned on the ac the car just died lol........ to look back at and compare this car to my first, I feel very lucky and blessed. This Corvette represents allot of hard work and something I could never have even dreamed was possible.

You made the right choice on the exterior color.
When you take her out on the road, be prepared for questions/comments about it.

Thanks I'm really excited and can't wait to get the car. It's being transported (enclosed) but don't have a set date yet. Could be 3 to 5 weeks. However, it might go anytime. I was very flexable on delivery date, because I wanted someone who would transport enclosed, and uses a lift (no ramps). Matick set me up with a company called Reliable, who apparently moves allot of high end cars. The price was fair, I just needed to be a little flexable in timing.
Which is fine, I need to move my daughter's "stuff" out of my garage. I have a "dorm room" in my spot !!!
