You must have bought a black one then. They are way too much work for me!

That's why I'm wrapping my car...black looks good freshly dried and clean, but 10 minutes later it looks like hell. I've had enough!!!

My neighbor has an 03 Z, and there are two more within three blocks of my house. I live in a very blueclass neighborhood, so it surely doesn't feel exotic, to me its just a chevy, although a very fast chevy.

Here in SoCal where you see everything (today I saw the new Fiskar sedan at our local Fiskar dealer!) I do seem to get a fair amount or attention, though I think some of that is cause its bright yellow and I keep it spotless.

I live in boca Raton which is a rich town... But I still get Ton of looks still... One time this older guy in a new jag came up to me complementing the car and color and asked what they go for. I didn't wanna tell him I got my Z for only 15K so I told him the price of a brand new z06 lol...

I live right up the road in Lake Worth and I agree with you I get plenty of looks and mines black. I thought it would be a stealth color but I swear I get more looks than my bright yellow 69 camaro.

I get plenty of attn here in MD. Most of it good. The only thing I dislike is the comments from folks at work who think I'm made of $$$s because I drive a Corvette. In all fairness though it does look badass and tons better than 90% of their rides so.......

I certainly find myself missing it occasionally.

There are a decent amount and wide variety of Vette's in my area of NJ but not too many Z's. I don't pay too much attention to those around me when driving but I have been paced by a few people who have greeted me with giant smiles and a hearty thumbs up. A young guy in a turbo charged Infinity wanted to race me one night but since I don't need to prove to anyone how big my dick is, I let him drive on. I do notice that people are quicker to get into the right lane when I come up on them though, and for that I am appreciative
