Default It's home! VIN 2851

I picked up my 2LT black on black z51 w/black wheels and calipers yesterday afternoon. VIN is 2851. I placed the order with Tommy Jr. at MacMulkin Chevrolet on 9/6 and the car was courtesy delivered on 10/10.

Tommy has been great the whole time. Thanks!

I looked it over from top to bottom and I don't see any panel gaps or clear coat drips. On top of that nothing is missing.

After only 60 miles, here are my first impressions:

- I am 5'll" 150 pounds an both the drivers side and the the interior as a whole feel a lot smaller than the C6.

- I am by no means and audiophile. That being the case, the Bose system sounds great.

- Coming from an 07 C6, the steering on this car is awesome. It is very tight.

That's all I've got for now.... back to playing with all of the options and configurations.

Sinister! Love it! On that one I would keep the grill retainer piece as is for a nice accent.

Gorgeous! I ordered almost the exact same one, but with red calipers from Tommy Jr. Hope I have it soon.

If you see my triple black post a few posts down, you will see that a car just like yours is what pushed me over the edge into C7 lust.
I have already started the wheels turning.

With all the talk about Z51 constraint, it didn't seem to affect your order.
You got yours pretty quickly.

Congrats!!!
Very sharp car!
