I loved my 08 C6... the minute I sat in my C7Z? Not so much after that lol. I'm sure you're ecstatic. Congrats and enjoy!

Congrats dude!!

When i first got my GS, as i was leaving the dealer i saw a guy taking home his brand new C7Z. I went from to . And i knew that i really wasn't happy.

But as the months went by i was trying to convince myself to love the GS. And i did. But it didn't really make me happy.

Not even 1.5 years later i traded it for a C7Z.

Once you've ridden or drive a C7Z, you really can't go backwards in generations. Unless it's a separate car you're collecting or adding to the garage.

I did love my GS to and did a few modes to it but I have that need for more HP. The C7 Z has a lot more options, much nicer interior and just looks more aggressive than my C6 did too.

Same with me.

It was lowered with aftermarket wheels, full exhaust long tubes etc.

But i guess i got into the C6 a little late in the game and instantly wanted the newer, "better" vette. It sucked that i realized it as soon as i signed th papers for the GS lol. That guy who had to take delivery for his C7Z the same time me taking my GS home is to blame lol.

But it's ok because i'm in the C7Z now. Still loving this car already 2 years later.

I can't wait to see what the C8 brings!

I thought about a GS as well, but I knew I would always be kicking myself if I didn't get my Z06. I'm so happy I did. Great looking car you got there

I thought the same way as was sold on the GS for 6 months but when I put my order in last week with Mike Furman I went for the Z. Glad I did and now 8 weeks to wait. Your car looks great and no looking back...

Thank you, I wanted to duplicate this one I had taken of my C6 GS but didn't get the angle right. I'm not much of a photographer.

Great car/color! No other color makes it truly look as mean as they are.
