Default Found one - only took a month

Here's our new 2018 left over 3LZ A8:

Guess I'll have to sell the ZR1 now...
Question though, I noticed the HVAC vents run hot for quite a while after you stop and leave the car set for a while, like just a few minutes. This seems longer than most cars in which I have experienced this situation. Normal?

Congrats and welcome to the Z06 forum. Nice color and I see the windows are tinted already.

Hopefully you can take her for a ride between the rain this weekends. Next week weather looks better.

C7 needs the AC on for vents to blow cold unless it’s under 50*

Actually the run from San Leandro to Bodega Bay is about 90 miles, so it was a good break in on the freeway and as you can see from the photo, it was sunny. It had 140 miles on it when I got it so it's half way broken in.
If you remember Tim Boone who was the guy at Boardwalk in Redwood City, he has moved to FHDailey in San Leandro. FHDailey didn't have a Corvette program and therefore had no allocations. In order to get a program going Tim bought some C7's from dealers in the SW; this one came from Roswell NM. They tint the windows there even before they are sold and they also put a set of black Z06 wheels on and sold the car to FHDailey with the brand new chrome wheels which I am selling here and on Craigslist.

Not sure how long the tints will last before I get busted... LOL

I bought mine used and the tint is way darker then yours and haven't had an issue yet. Even got pulled over by a CHP and rolled the windows down before he got to the car and didn't say anything about any tint. He was a bit upset on how fast i was going though.

I saw the SL tags on the car and when I was looking for my vette, didn't recall SL selling many. Just chalked it up to the location in the Bay Area for not carrying any in inventory.

Anyways I bet it was a nice ride up to Bodega Bay in the new ride.

Congrats again.

Congrats! Great color too (but I'm a bit biased '18 WGG).

I ordered my 11 GS from Tim when he was at Boardwalk... when I was looking to buy my Z I contacted BW but Tim was gone and the newbie "expert" at BW wasn't able to get me the price I was looking for, so ordered the Z out of Montana with courtesy drop here in the valley.

The dealers here in the valley are little arrogant and hard to deal with so I love it when after trying to deal with them and them insisting "you'll never get that car for that price" I go get the sales manager when the car is courtesy dropped and say, "remember that car I'd never get at that price, well her she is"... last three deals they've missed out on.

Congrats on an awesome beast!

Very nice. Did you request the dealer not install the side skirts?

Confused on the side skirts?? The skirts that are on there are very similar to my CF skirts on the ZR1.
What am I missing???

yes starting in 2017 all z06’s has them. Stage 1 2 and 3 aero


prior to 17 only the stage 2 or stage 3,cars them.

Did you get a big plastic bag with all the extra brake cooling parts for track use?

ac is ok on the c7. Seemed to work better on my c6z06.

All that other stuff was there including a key for the locks on the lug nuts. What is the difference between what's on there and what seems to be missing???
