Default New Z06 Owner

I just bought a lightly used 2017 Z06 and have referred to this forum a few times before my purchase. Now if it would just stop snowing so I can drive it.

First off welcome to the forum!! You are going to really like it here and find a great wealth of knowledge.
I purchased a 2017 Z06 last August and love everything about it. I’ve owned a C5 and C6 Z06 and this is by far the best one. Don’t forget the forum rule about posting some pics of your new ride.

Thanks 01 Coupe

Best photo I have right now. Car is in storage until weather improves. I need to get some AS3+ tires for it for the rain.

Thanks Sabre34. Other than the carbon flash painted mirrors I love the colour combination. The base wheels look the best with the blade silver exterior too. Brakes were upgraded to carbon ceramic pads to limit brake dust generation, which I understand can be a problem with factory non-carbon ceramic brakes.

Welcome and congrats on your C7 Z06. I can sympathize with you on the weather.

Be sure to check out the various C7 sections of the forum.

Thanks Vetteman Jack. I have already been over to some of the C7 specific forums, these forums are a great source of information with so much knowledge available from the members.

Yes, I saw some dummy took his C7 out on the weekend in sub-freezing temps and ended up tobogganing down a snowy slope beside the road. Poor car.
