1. What is the first thing you are most looking forward to doing in your new C8Z06 when you finally get it?
Getting carbon fiber splitter, radiator guards, and full ppf/cermamic installed and breaking the car in properly.
2. Have you owned corvettes previously to the C8 generation or has the mid engine configuration brought you in to the fold?
Coming from Mopar/imports I went from a LS2 swapped and fully modified FD3S Mazda RX7 to Corvettes. I purchased my first Corvette at 25, a new 2008 C6 and did museum delivery and Vengeance Racing build after. The C8 Z06 will be my 3rd Corvette, I skipped C7 generation because it had less headroom and I hate the rear of C7.
3. Not that it matters, but what is your age (they are hoping to bring in a younger demographic)
Currently 40 but been a car enthusiast since I was 6 years old when the 1989 film Speed Zone released (iconic Lamborghini Countach intro) and meeting John Schneider at Mopar Nationals a few years after that getting his autograph. We need good car films, F&F has went stupid.
4. What are the basic stats of your Z06 build and color if you are planning on getting one.
Rapid blue 3LZ HTC, Tension blue, carbon level 2, with CCB and some other goodies.Currently at 3000 status. Will be my 2nd from MacMulin and 2nd Museum Delivery.
5. Are there any other cars that you would seriously consider as an alternative to the C8Z...
In the past I have had cars from the RX7 and other imports to a 2000 Plymouth Prowler at 23, but I am also a large guy at 6'6" 280 and both of those weren't really comfortable long term even after changing seats and steering wheels. I have found Corvettes to be more comfortable. Lamborghini, Vipers, and Camaros, none of those work for me at my size. Certain Ferraris and McLarens would work and in a '22 911 turbo S I have a lot of headroom so the 911 is comfortable. I have also owned 2 Audi R8 V10s and those are better than Lamborghini for fitment but still not as much room as a C8. I don't like soft tops.
I miss having a convertible so I can't wait for the HTC, and the only midengine alternatives to a HTC are from Ferrari and McLaren so those are the only 2 I would consider at this point. I am adding the Z06 to my '21 Charger Hellcat Redeye that is indigo blue and the 3 best things about it are the engine (power & sound) the seats, and the color.
