Neil, having been an owner of a Z51 2LT for 3 days, I concur! Congratulations. Since my car had a born date of 11/15, I washed and waxed it first thing on Saturday AM and then took a few photos

I think this car was the first car where I studied the manual kinda like when I read the manual of a complicated new video game I bought.
