Thanks buddy. Your interior is so nice. Love the red paddles. My paddles are black. And I don't have that carbon piece at 6 o'clock on the steering wheel, only on the dash. Is that exclusive to Z06?

HOLD ON did you get the bimod exhaust with your car. If so why learn all the things this exhaust will do with all the awesome computer programming you can do Its an awesome exhaust

Yes it comes stock on any Z06 but I am sure you could add it if you wanted to.

Your car is beautiful. After torch red the CE is my favorite color esp with the blue hash marks and blue seat trim. Holy moly!

If I see you on the road around PB I'll give you a thumbs up.

I'll have to look into it to see if I have the bimod exhaust. Is that the same as exhaust changing sound when I go from Eco or touring to sport mode?

Nice car, that's the right color. SOME of us got the Prince 1982 memo. My own exhaust modification involved Rustoleum high heat auto paint, making tape and several hours of cursing and crawling around the exhaust tips applying and then removing the tape. Black exhaust tips look great, it was worth it. And they're holding up nicely a month in.

My car above is a 2017 Z-51, M7, 2LT, PDR/Nav/Transparent Roof. Got it in December after shopping for a used C7 for months and finding the late model used cars pretty much universally overpriced by at least $5K in light of the dealer discounting the car 10%+ and giving me an aggressive number on the 2007 C6 coupe I traded in.
