Default Beautiful Z06 at SAT C&C

Saw this beautiful Z06 this morning at the first San Antonio Cars and Coffee of 2023.



In person the C8Z is perfectly executed.

I arrived at 7:30 and there was no room for my ZR1, so I parked for awhile and came home.

@Factoid Thank you for posting! I’m in SA too and saw a grey Z06 at Harris Hill Raceway in Feb.
Can’t wait to get mine.

Got to admit, I still like C7Z styling over C8Z.

C7 ZR1 is a gorgeous car and I don't know what trying "to" hard means.

And the funny part NOBODY is even looking at it because they look soooo much like the regular C8.

How did he knock down the Z06 with a mere preference ?

I like the ZR1 front clip, everything in front of the windshield looks great imo but I can not get over the rest especially the rear end. I prefer C6 ZR1 to C7 ZR1 looks wise, but it's just my opinion so don't get mad. They both perform fantastic. I do believe there is more differentiating a C8 stingray and a C8 Z06 looks wise than there is a C7Z to a C7 stingray. More body panels are different and width.

I do think they should have made more than 1 year of the C7 ZR1 though.

I’d definitely take that that ZR1 Sebring Orange over Amplify Orange. Bring back a metallic or pearl orange!

Wife and I have fingers crossed they bring back AO or DSOM prior to our ordering which looks like about a year or less at MM, have had two AO cars including a current ‘08 Z and DSOM C7. If no luck we plan on Elkhart Blue.

That's pretty close to what I was thinking as well. Good to see it in actual photos.
