New to me Z06/Z07
Just completed purchase of a 2017 Z06/Z07 3LZ with pretty much every option only 3300 miles. Pretty pumped right now! Only bad news is in storage in cold NH until spring. New extra wheels and MPSS tires car cover all carbon fiber items and complete car Expel wrap. Can’t wait till spring.

Awesome, you'll love it.. I am in north as well... my Z06 is hibernating in the garage as well... but you can always go sleep in it a few night a week lol

I wish I could even sit in it. Unfortunately it was already in storage and packed in. Storage was paid for for winter and if it wasn’t a pain to get it out I’d have it back in my garage. Killing me to not have it here.

Mine got stuck last year at our other home.. dryer sheets, mint oil, traps.. I was so worried about mice .. I saw droppings.. it turned out it was a bat lol. You'll have some tales to tell this spring when you get to drive her

I need to get into the building and add mouse protection. I have a 71 RS/Z28 that they got into last winter and even though removed the nest as the car warms up I get the odor. Total bummer

That interior pattern was actually fairly rare in the Z06 w/Z07 with those seats red with grey centers in 17'.. I have the same one.. you just don't see that pattern as much around me.. Glad to see it. Your interior pic is nice.. you made me realize I need to take some better ones of mine this year..You'll love that car this Summer they are fantastic!

Yours looks awesome. The original owner did an awesome job selecting options. At first I was a little concerned the red on dash might be too much but when I saw it in person I thought and feel it is a ver classy look, like yours!
Now just have to wait until spring to get her home.
like A kid right now, look at my pictures and others on this site. My wife thinks it’s pretty funny, lol.
Glad to see similar interior. See a few with red seats only.
Thanks

Yeah I saw one with red centers and black outers in a base Stingray..but most have the all red seats. They had a twilight blue special edition in this pattern that was great looking. I love the seats we have.. I tried the Comp seats and they killed my back in about 10 miles.holes hit me weird. I think our interiors look a little more dramatic and "supercarish" Yours has a lot of pop with the darker exterior. Check if you had the magnetic ride update done.. it makes a huge difference, touring mode makes the stiff Z07 cars way nicer for crappy city streets, well worth it. I hope you get to do a track day on her, it's where these cars are best at home..

I have seen a few post about the update on the magnetic ride. Will check with previous owner and dealer. Pretty sure it has not been done. Previous/original owner had the 500 mile oil change done and I think that’s it. Planning on oil change, alignment, update and most likely swap the mcup2s to the mpss tires and wheels in spring. New England weather can change so quickly. As they say “if you don’t like the weather wait a minute”
There is a track about an hour north of me. A friend has a 2019 Z06 and got to try it once this fall and is hooked. I am hoping to try it as well. Maybe before tire swap
