Upstate NY neighbor. Sorry to let you know if you did not. NYS passed a law JAN 1 that no passenger car can emit less than 70% light on its side windows. Including my black Z and my shop is a NYS station!

If you go the Glen look me up I am usually # 77 with Track Masters. PM if you need some help with prep or set up be glad to help.

They seem to be from all over. Last year I saw a few from far away as Ohio and Connecticut plates also some from Canada. So lucky I'm only just under 2 hours away. I think when they register some don't use a real address. I know a few track guys that don't want others like employees etc. to know they play at this elite expensive sport.

Full course at 3.4 miles not the shorter NASCAR. There has been rumors they may run the boot too!

thanks mad dog! I'll look for you when I'm up there ......I am working on the tint issue now....I didn't tint my windows for looks (even though it does look amazing). I am on a few meds that cause photosensitivity so I am waiting on my application to go through the dmv......hopefully I can leave it on.!

I know this is the sinister black thread but I think there is a black one in our parking lot somewhere!

We just finalized the date of our annual Corvettes Cars & Coffee May 20th and its co-sponsored by APEX Magazine, Monster and Advanced Auto Parts. I am inviting anyone here that would like to come to our shop and their friends. Last year we did a clinic on C7 rear castor this year will be on what suspension set up is needed for the track. We will have Track Master Senior instructor and SVA GT1 Champion driver and maybe his #90 car too! Mark your calendars and check out my company's web site at Jeffreysautobody.com.

BTW, Track Masters has its first 2 days at Watkins Glen that week, 23rd and 24th, make a trip of it, I will be. It's Just 2 hours from our shop in Syracuse.

SOOOOO.....I'm going to switch to black wheels(GM ZO6 Gloss Black). I looked at ALL the pictures on this thread and it looks like about 95% of the cars have chrome lug nuts and black center caps with the chrome ring. Just a few cars with black lug nuts and all black center caps.
Opinions? Chrome lug nuts and chrome rim center cap or all black lug nuts and center cap? What do you all think?
It also looks like House of Wheels has the best deals on ZO6 wheels?
Thanks

Most folks say you need some contrast on a black wheel, therefore chrome lugs and chrome ring on center cap. For me the carbon ceramic rotors and red calipers were enough. Black on black on black.

Thanks for the thoughts U4EA.
Great looking car! You made my decision even harder...both styles look good and it comes down to personal preference.

I don't know what to choose, I have the choice between a white C7 ZO6 or a black one both 2016 and the both have less then 3000km. I'm leaning a bit towards the black side but the white looks so good also...

To clean or not to clean, now that is the question! Whether it is noble to show up with a dusty car that the dust can be seen or a dusty car that the dust will likely not be seen. Love my black Z, but it is a carrier trying to keep it spotless.
