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.

HI all I will be trading in my7 m 2018 grand sport triple black 2lt chrome wheels pdr and a drop top. I order a 2019 7mz06 on may23 triple black 2lz chrome wheels pdr drop top tpw is 6/17.

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 (:

Anybody think I’ll regret not getting a 2LZ?
I don’t think you will. My 19 is 1 LZ. And I love it. Just remember less things that can go wrong.lol

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.
