Default New Z for me, fresh pics - 56k die

Finally was able to get out and snap some pics. For those not familiar, I traded up from an 08 Z51 to this. What a difference! The Z is a fantastic machine. I got the mild to wild on today and it sounds great. Surprisingly it's not as loud as the Z51 was.

Enjoy the pics

No, they're the standard painted silver. I'm still on the fence about wheel color. I'm trying to decide between black powder coat, comp gray, or leave em silver.

well i think it looks about damn near perfect the way that it is. i have a HD scooter and my truck has a butt load of chrome. i have been leaning towards that anti-chrome thing lately. i don't care much for the black... it might look good with AO or VY.

that silver with the blue looks hot though! if it were mine i wouldn't change it

either way you go it will be a nice ride!

WOW! the car looks awesome. I saw a blue Z06 (just like yours) and I was tempted to buy it. When I went to my dealer they had 11 Z06s and I had to choose one, the blue looked awesome.

Did you put that rear spoiler? what camera are you using?, your photos are great. Last but not least, was that really much of a difference between the Z51 and the Z06? I would think the Z51 closes the gap between the regular C6 and the Z06.
