Congratulations Scott. I understand exactly what you mean. I loved my 90 ZR-1 with top end etc but in the seat of the C6Z it's another animal completely. It's perma grinn extreme now. Enjoy your new beast.

A very good pair of Corvettes. Super Vette of yester-year and one of the current two today.

Another LMB Z06 owner here. I love that color on the C6 Z06. I picked my 2007 up about two months ago. Had a C6 Z51 before. Unbelievable difference and I smile big-time every morning when I touch the start button...

Congratulations on your recent Z06 acquisition. Enjoy!

I like the ZR1 in your garage. I'm tempted to pick one up to add to the collection.

Congratulations on your new Z06. That color looks great on it There is no better feeling than buying a new Corvette and taking it on a road trip home. I flew out to Missouri last month and drove my 06 Z06 home 1,500 miles, smiling all the way

Nice car, and I know as mine's also a low milage 06'. As for GMPP warranty though, I'd really check into this, as car's are normally only eligible for this within the first 3 year/36K mi window. You can extend the original GMPP later, but tend's to be rather expensive. Check with Fichtner Chevrolet in MT for the real scoop on this. Enjoy your new ride, as I certainly have no intention's of selling mine anytime soon.

That's a beautiful pair of Vette's you have there.

Now in a year or two find yourself a nice C5Z and you'll be golden

Thanks for the feedback. I have been working this issue for a while now. What I'm finding is the reason the car will be eligible for the GMPP warranty is because it was sold as a GM Certified, Previously Owned verhicle (CPO). As such, it is now and for the next year covered by a GM 12mile/12month bumper-to-bumper warranty. I actually have several quotes at this point for dealers to purchase the warranty from. What I'd like to do is go with a Corvette Forum Supporting Vendor.

Thanks again.

Thank you Mr. Hyde. With the exception of the few times I might get to a track, our Corvettes are all about road trips, going places, and spending time with my wife. That and the great Corvette people we've met along the way.
