Default Upgrade!

So I'm at the dealership waiting on my free oil change and see there last 2017 Z06. One thing lead to another and I ended up with a deal I couldn't refuse. So after only having my Grand Sport for 6-7 months, I traded it in for a 2017 Z06. Loving it so far!!

Haha, I hated black and only went in to check out the suede interior. I was sucked in and couldn’t leave without her.

I had a very similar experience and the Z06 is a great car. It does have a few shortcomings, but still, I really do love it. Congratulations on your new Z06! I have no regrets after almost 2 years of ownership, even with its faults it is a wonderful car!

You know what “they say”? Once you go black, you’ll never go back. Owning a black car is a carrier. When clean and shinny, they are spectacular, it does not photograph as beautiful as it is in person but, when its clean, it just blows my socks off every time. Congratulations

Congrats, I guess I saved a bunch of money when I went from C5 a C7 Z06, no regrets as well, when the Z06 bug bites, it just will not let go, amazing ride, worth every penny.
