Default TR Z06 added pics awesome car, it's early but most fun car to date


Torch red z06, delivered last Thursday, only 100 miles but most fun car so far. Have been very fortunate to own a little of everything( c7 z51 coupe, 13 zr1, c6 z06, 911, viper, ferrari, m3, shelby gt500, etc.). Amazing low end torque, incredible handling with great around town ride. Incredible sound, technology,etc. I would highly recommend this car to any car nut like myself. If you drive it, you will buy it. Pictures at s1372.photobucket.com

Nice to see a Torch Red with Spectra-Gray wheels!
Thanks for the pics.


Did you go with the black interior?...I see the Comp. seats.

I also owned quite a few late model high performance marques. The C7 Z51 was my 1st foray into Corvettes and I thought that was an awesome machine but now the Z06 easily trumps that euphoria. Plus, so far the Z06 is topshelf on that bucket list.

A none narrow-minded car guy has to look at it overall... the Z06 is not a one-skill wonder because it really has the entire package including the sticker shock! Sticker meaning wow this beauty/beast starts at 79K... wow!

Enjoy yours!
Thanks. You enjoy yours too.

First of all, CONGRATS! That's hot!

And spot on on the feedback! It is an incredible machine specially the torque and balance/handling. Plus the extra servings of aggressiveness in the design and flared styling is an awesome sight in person. So easy to cruise lightly & leisurely and so easy to transform it into the incredible hulk!
