Default Took delivery of my Supersonic Blue 2011 Z07!

Finally delivered today after a 3 week delay due to bad weather and Fedex's poor scheduling. Got a great deal from Bob Foley of Bill Stasek Chevrolet, in Wheeling IL. They were a pleasure to deal with. I chose to buy one without the CF option (Front splitter, side rails, roof, ZR-1 spoiler), because I couldn't get it in my driveway without tearing up the front splitter! Plan on adding a ZR-1 spoiler next weekend to complete the look and will take pictures at that time. The ones I'm including are of my car at Bill Stasek Chevrolet. The pictures are a little washed out, but I can vouch that yes it is indeed blue and a pretty awesome blue at that when viewed in sunlight. Looks blue grey to dark blue grey in any shade or unnatural light. I just love the Z07 package which is the option to get if you're considering a 2011. The 19/20 PS ride way better that the old GY's and the the comp grey ZR-1 rims look awesome, especially with Supersonic Blue. The F-55 suspension is really nice in touring mode. The ride is like a luxury car! Transmission shifts very smooth and I'd say better than my 09. Exhaust note more throaty than my 09, but I haven't opened it up yet. That's my first impressions.

The same exact car is sitting at my local dealership. They just got it in and I happened to see it it just the other day. The pictures don't do justice. The SS blue with the grey wheels looks absolutely incredible in person. One of the nicest color combinations I have ever seen on a Z. Enjot it bro, it is amazing looking.

Default Wow it looks great!

You are thinking just like me! I just watched my 2011 Z06 with the Z07 package being built at the BG plant and I ordered mine in black. Unless they were blowing smoke up my skirt, the guys in the engine department commented that the hot set up was just what you ordered, even over the ZR1. That is me sitting my my car at the final stage at the BG plant.

Bob Foley "strikes" again. I bought my Z06 from Bob. Bill Stasek and the entire "family" are great people to "deal with".

I like "Bill Stasek Chevrolet" because, it is like the "old days" - Bill Stasek has a (1) car dealership and goes to work there everyday. It is not a "profit center" for some large corporation - like many other dealerships.

And, it is all backed up by "Elvis" - what a GREAT Corvette technician.

Great people.

The pictures really don't do it justice. I just finished washing a putting my first Zaino coat on it and boy does it look good especially as you noted the color looks awesome with those wheels. It was foggy and overcast this morning and it had a blue grey appearance. Can't wait to see it in direct sunlight. This color is a hard one to describe, you just have to see one in person to appreciate it. Glad I like it having never seen one before this one pulled up to my house yesterday!

Great people.
Yea Bob is a great guy. I IM'd him on Cars.com a link of another Forum dealers price for the same optioned car but wrong color and asked if he'd match it. He called me within 15 minutes and said he would. I tried the same technique on another non-forum dealer for a JSB Z07 and asked if they would match and their reply was we're not in business to loose money. The best they could do was $2000.00 more. So I called Bob back and bought it!
