Default New C6Z owner!!!

Just wanted to introduce myself, Jason from Knoxville, TN. Just recently purchased a 2007 C6Z and love it! A few facts about the car, its a museum order car and from what i understand was ordered just as it sits but cant be certain about that. it does have a 2006 build date so hopefully no issues with the needle bearings in the rockers but that as well as heads and cam will be addressed asap. Also the valve cover was autographed by Andy Pilgrim.

Are you sure that is AO? Looks Victory Red to me. It really looks like IOM, but that color obviously was not available in 07. My eyes are playing tricks on me

Regardless, beautiful Z06! I got mine a year ago next month and it puts a huge smile on my face every time I drive it. Good to hear you're getting the heads done ASAP!

Congratulations and welcome to this great forum! Just check the option codes in the glove compartment, that will tell you what color it is. Regardless, it looks great, but take your time getting used to it, as some new Z owners there is a learning curve to driving this beast. It is pretty easy for it to get out of control if pushed hard before you get familiar with it. I agree with getting the heads fixed, and you should have many years and miles of enjoyment.

Also, does it appear to be lowered? at least in the front? Is there a way to tell if it has?

Nice car. My 08 has 4 signatures on the valve cover, never could figure out who’s they are.
