Joined the club. Might just put on carbon flash front splitter and dive planes.

Traded my 2022 rapid blue htc 3lt for 2024 z06. Totally different cars to be honest. This is a race car tamed for the street. Much louder and stiffer suspension. Quicker steering. A true sports car. Sounds awesome with top down.

Similar Red Mist with Natural interior in the order hopper with the local dealer (pending an allocation). Going back and forth over whether to go 3LZ natural dipped or just natural (retaining the black dash). Can you share pictures of your interior as well as first hand impressions of how bright the interior is (is it "too much" having all that tan within the entire cockpit and if you were given the option again would you elect the same choice or throttle back to just Natural vice Dipped?) This is the alternate interior option I am struggling with :

Thanks

The dipped is more of a luxurious look. I didn’t think I would like it, but it’s really nice. My 2022 had the rapid blue interior, which was super sporty. This spec reminds me of classic Ferrari, with fully dipped tan leather. The interior in the video, is much more sporty. Black floor mats will work with it Having issues with floor mats with fully dipped. Think I found a clear mat to put over them.

Best of luck with that new corvette z06.

glad to hear you are happy with your second c8 corvette purchase and it’s interesting how you suggest this new z06 is almost an entirely new driving experience.
