Default Second Vette, First Z06!

Hello all, just wanted to say a quick hello. I just picked up my 19 Z06 on Tuesday, absolutely love it so far! Last summer I picked up a 12 C6 A6, fell in love with the concept, but not that car. This time I went for a manual and, so far, I'm super happy with that choice.

I did a little write up over on the Z06 forum of picking the new car up, as well as a couple of questions that I haven't been able to answer yet. - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-question.html

Thanks!
-Luke

Thanks! Flathead Lake/Kalispell area. It's about 20f and snowing hard right now, perfect Z06 weather!

Very cool. Love that place. Spend as much time as possible in that area in the summer. Enjoy your new C7!

I'm sure you'll see me buzzing around this summer then. I live in Bigfork and commute into Kalispell most days, the Z will be my daily. Do you bring your GS up? I try to make a point of getting over to Spokane County Raceway at least a couple times a year, if you haven't been, its a great time. Spend the right weekend there and you can get a drag night in and two road course days.

Bigfork, awesome! I actually have part ownership in a property 9 miles south of the bridge on Flathead Lake. When I'm there, I generally will split time in Bigfork and Whitefish. As most people do, I feel in love with that area years ago when I first visited a friend. It's a hard place not to return to in the summers. I have not drove the GS up there -- yet. Maybe someday as there are some great drives with plenty of twisties in N.E. MT.

I'll keep a look out for your Z as there aren't that many up in that area. I know there is another CF member here with a White C7 in Summers.

Again, congratulations and enjoy your new car, the weather should break for you soon.
