oh my lord is the only way to describe this car.
what a performance what a looks what a beautiful fit and finish, all that 8 months of wait for my order was WELL worth it.
general motors stole another Ferrari driver.
Sold my 2011 f430 for this z06 and wow seriously wow.
i am a 37 years old foreigner who came to this beautiful country broke and worked myself up, American dream is strong as ever and it's working for those who want to go get it.
god bless the engineers the builders who put together this cars and god bless the United States of America,

thank you very much

I was 20 years old when I came to USA from Armenia, my aunt loaned my dad 6000 dollars to pay for my air fair and immigration fees,
i couldn't speak a word of English, no work skills,
i got to LAX 4:30 pm got picked up by my aunt, went to her house to get much needed sleep, before I knew it it was 8 am and she said I have a job for you get ready to go to work, building manager where she lived was a contractor and he said he will give me a job,
here I am 12 hours in USA and I am already at the job site, 6 pm I got home and she said get ready I am taking you to school, ESL class English as a second language,
i was so upset at her back then,
few years passed I finished the school, found a job at architectural company and worked up to manage 170 workers, it was time to start my own business, I liked cars I started buying and selling cars, then opened autobody shop, sold 2 years later, got a bigger place started to cut and stretch limousines, then opened my own limo company, sold that and got into buying and flipping houses, it took me 13 years of following every law to become US Citizen, and here I am living the American dream,
best advice of my life I got from my first boss, he said this country is a hallway with 100s of doors on each side , and each door had a tag on it that says this door will take you to this place, yet ppl still choose to open wrong doors, DO NOT OPEN THE WRONG DOOR it says on it where u will end up.

Good for you!! You are living the dream - when hard work, persistence, luck and good decision making converge with opportunity good things can happen. 13 years is a long time and you did it the right way.

Congratulations, they are great cars. My buddy has a 488. After going for a ride in my Z, he said the 488 has nothing on this other than cost and exclusivity.

Congrats, beautiful Z06 and a great build. But $116K out the door? Did they offer any discount off MSRP?
