Default Bluesmobile Pics - I Hope

One of the last available M7 Anniversary Blue 19Zs got delivered to my house yesterday - Adrenalin Red and Black Interior..

Hope these pics work?



Walking up to the PlyCar Transporter - First time I saw my car in person.

Getting closer and more excited! Inspection time - everything was perfect!

Not my car but its twin - two much rain here to get this pic of mine yet

Like the Red/Black more than just all red - my personal preference.

For me they are "kissing cousins" and the closest color to the old admiral blue. They are both brilliant colors with the only difference that the old admiral blue had a smidgen of purple in it, I believe. To my eyes, they are virtually the same.

I was thinking the same thing! I have admiral blue and would love to see the two in person.

For as many pics I have seen I can’t recall seeing black with red inserts so to speak. Pretty unique for sure. I would really like to see the blue interior (not sure if still offered or not) on an admiral blue or this anniversary blue. I could see it not looking good in person, but could be pretty neat. Anyway, I digress, beautiful car and hope you enjoy it!

Beautiful Z06. Enjoy driving it. Pretty color. Following your other thread about finding places for good service, too.

Yep,I could just smack myself for not having Criswell download the GM 100 Octane tune while they had my car ready to ship. That tune might help reduce the over eager stock programming IAT timing pullbacks since I will always use at least 93 and many times MS103 100 octane - both which are readily available to me. Still is kinda warm in Northern Fl for about 6-7 months a year.

In Northern Va, had places to go for service, here, finding it more of a challenge. Local dealers here lets his new Vettes sit outside and they look like crap. Does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. One came recommended that is in Green Cove, and has a Vette specialist but the Service manager was borderline rude when he finally called me back after waiting two days. Not thrilled about that. Trying to get more info on the big Vette selling dealership in Jacksonville, but getting mixed reviews. At this point I am willing to go to Tampa or St Pete (about a 2.5 hour drive - depending if I can find a decent, competent dealership.

This is the big problem I have with GM and why the Corvette, as great as it is, will never get to the top ranks if the dealers do not treat someone who buys an $88k world class car with a bit of world class themselves. I have an Audi SQ5 daily driver and the dealership experience even here where I live, is stellar...

I dunno - my wife tells me that like most men, I am kind of color blind. She say she sees a hint of purple in it. So, it now "officially" has a hint of purple in it!
