Upgrading to a Z06
#41
Here's my 15m7 Callaway Z06. I love the car it's amazing. Only thing I would trade it for in a couple of years is possibly for a c8 Z06. A little dirty here had been driving around all day. 😁

This week is my target production week. Can't wait to pick this car up! Hoping they extend the loyalty discount through June.

my z06
I've been trying to convince myself that I could live with paddle shifters when the C8 comes out but I know deep down that I wouldn't be happy with it. So I thought I would upgrade my 1LT Z51 M7 while they're still taking factory orders. Stopped by and placed an order for a 2LZ Z06 M7 with Mike Furman this morning. Gonna be a long 6 week wait.
this is my trade

Upgraded from a 14 Z51 to a 17 Z06 then back down to a 14 Z51.
Granted, this new Z51 makes 1000 hp so I don't really see it as too much of a downgrade (:

I’m going through the same thing right now, waiting on my 1lz that I built to come in. I’ve been going crazy wondering if I made a mistake not going with a 2LZ. I went through Mike Furman, I was at 3000 order Status and he told me it was impossible to upgrade to a 2LZ which sucked.
Anybody think I’ll regret not getting a 2LZ?

I have a base M7 and have toyed with the idea of upgrading to a Z06 M7. I am hoping against hope that there will eventually be a C8 manual in a convertible. Back in 2013 I scratched my head when I stay people getting a C6 with a completely new model coming out. I have a problem getting a soon to be older style vette as a new car.
The discounts on the 2019 make for a compelling case. I will probably buy a C8 but will wait for the backlog of first movers to diminish. This should help with a modest discount and teething issues, if any. I bought a new 1996 C4 in November of 1995 and sold it three years later for a new 1999 C5. The depreciation was quite modest, mostly because I got such a deep discount on the 1996.

Here's a couple of pics my wife took this morning. Didn't get to drive it very long. Took it straight to my Xpel installer for a near full wrap, ceramic coating and window tint. Won't get it back until late next week. Supposed to rain here 5 out of the next 6 days and I'll probably be out of town on a trip for 3 or 4 days so no big deal.
Thanks again to Mike Furman. He took great care of me.

Finally got the Z back from my PPF installer. The wife and I took it out to Antietam National Battlefield today. Had a great drive. Only issue I have is the passenger side door is slightly out of alignment. Will address it when I take her in for the 500 mile oil change.
