New Z06 Z07

Bought my first Vett today to add to my stable. Drove it 330 miles home from SAINT LOUIS, MO. What a great trip and a great way to get to know the car.

Cant wait to get it to the track.

I also own a new CTS-V Coupe and a Ferrari F430. A good mix so far I think.......Steve

Details:
Carbon Flash Metallic/Ebony
CHEVROLET CENTENNIAL EDITION
3LZ PREMIUM EQUIPMENT GROUP
Z06 CARBON FIBER PACKAGE
Z06 ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE PACKAGE

Wow, awesome car! How would you compare it to your new Z06 as a daily driver and as a track car?

They are both so different, I don't know where to begin. I have not yet tracked the Z06, since it is winter here, and I just picked the car up last weekend.

They both make for fun daily drivers, each in their own way. The Ferrari is really raw and load (Tubi muffler) and is very nimble. The interior smell of leather is intoxicating where the Z06 does smell like a glue factory.

They are both surprisingly comfortable to drive long distances.

The Ferrari is a handfull at the track but is a great challenge to learn to drive well. Need track tires and some more camber I think.

I am very excited to get the Z on the track to see how it does. Even though they wiegh about the same, the Z feels heavier, but I can't say why.

I really am very happy to have both, since they are each distinctive and a blast to drive........Steve
