Just what I want another z06 M7 the best one yet the 2019. Great color choice better than white. IMO Sweet ride and you are just 10k away from a real 800 hp plus beast when you are ready on pump gas.
Nice job! M7

The Mustang I am getting rid of for this car was around 740-ish on 93 with a big ole Whipple on top... was a great time building it... but I can not remotely express how happy I am to have a NEW car be stock and keep it that way aside from a mirror tap for the radar detector and probably the mudflap mod... aside from those things - I'm not looking to go back to dicking with tunes, tuners, data logging, MPVi2, laptops and wires in the car, etc, etc... I love wrenching... but I'm happy to do it ON FRIENDS CARS for the foreseeable future... (cam install this weekend for a buddy - when I REALLY want to be driving this beast on Saturday! - I am a good friend I keep telling myself!)

BUT - I do read all the blower upgrade threads here

Congratulations! Of course I am biased, but I think you made the right choices all around. I just bought a '19 2LZ Manual Anniversary Blue with Adrenalin Red interior and it should have been delivered to my house today! But thanks to some bitch named Florence, I will have to wait to Sunday or Monday...

The '19s are the epitome of C7 Z06 development - with several enhancements for '19. The last and the best of C7 Z's, and probably the last and best of the FEs. I am not excited about the C7 ZR1. I may well be wrong, but I have a feeling that those of us who bought deeply discounted manual trans '19 Z's are never gonna regret it - especially since the ME will not have a manual.

Enjoy that beautiful car and keep the rubber side down...

I agree the Mirror Tap and radar unit are key. It is on everytime I drive that way and they save you a lot of grief from tickets.

Beautiful spec. I actually inquired about that car. It is like a carbon 65 without the lame stickers and the dealer ordered it that way specifically for that reason. Enjoy it!!

Grats man. You think your excited now just wait until it’s broke in and you turn off TC.

Congrats, that is the best color combo imo, it looks identical to mine. Now slam it and black out the reflectors along with the cross-flags!

I can't believe it didn't move... and I'm so glad you didn't buy it! and since it was the dealers "take it to a few local shows over the summer" - the 400 miles on it made the deal close to what some of the 17's have been going for... It's insane...

Given I'm in Western NY - I have about a month before the car will go to sleep for the winter... That said - I plan on going to the $1000 2-day driving school next spring when she goes back on the road... and I expect to "learn" the no TC feel out there on their car before I do on mine

I got lucky - like real lucky a few times with no TC at all on my blown Mustang... I get this is a totally different beast... and was just looking at Hagerty track day coverage for some trips to Watkins Glen next year... so - I'll get there... plenty of time
