Can't wait to see a black/black Z with these wheels and red calipers.

I like everything except the side skirts. I just put the racing skirts on my C7 and LOVE them. They go straight across and don't contour to the body of the car. These don't really contour either, but I just really like the ones I got.

My guess would be yes as the New Z06 is i believe using the same CC rotors as the C6 so hypothetically the wheels should fit too.

Is it just the pictures or do those wheels need spacers? Seems like the fenders are sticking out to much.

Any dealer will do that for you, unless of course you expect GM to not incorporate that into the pricetag and do it for free? Maybe a local detail shop will do it free. That certainly is too bad GM won't do things for free...I'd love this Z06 free...it's a real shame.

Well, at least you saved a bundle on a base car versus buying an ugly Z06...Thank you for sharing...

ccamp44 03-28-2014 04:23 PM

I'm new to the forum and unable to see the pics here.... any suggestions? Also, is this the one making the rounds with the Tan/brown competition seats? If so, how did they look in person? Orange and/or cheesy??

thanks!

^^^It was up on a platform/stage and was too far away for me to really gander at the interior. No pics of it either...

Yeah, because an $80-90k car should have orange peel and they shouldn't do anything about it. Give me a break. :rolleyes:

Same here. New one is so "busy" and I'm in the camp with many others on the rear end... Not a fan.

Lovin' my Cooksey so why change? I went and drove a C7 to satisfy curiousity - was underwhelmed.

Not sure if 51 makes me an old fart, but if so, I guess it is what it is...

BMadden 03-29-2014 06:23 PM

Everyone looks at these things differently. I sat out the whole C6 run because honestly I was underwhelmed by its' looks, but the C7 and especially the C7Z is a whole new ballgame.

Yep. If we all liked exactly the same thing then there would be one car, one color, but there's not thankfully.

I don't dis-like the new one, I'm just not drawn to it enough to swap out at this point. Maybe when the Z06 comes out we'll see.

Saw the new C7 ZO6 for the first time...actually it was the first public unveiling outdoors. Damn thing looks great! The rear center part of the wing/spoiler/lip is adjustable. It has slots in it for height adjustment. Very cool.

Oh, the unveiling was at the Emelia Island Concours d'Elegance show. We went up for a few days to check out the scene. It was ridiculous! Damn!

I agree they nailed it with this Z06.....

That's your justification for saying orange peel is acceptable on the C7? Because it costs less than other sports cars? You're the one that's beyond :crazy2:

I know I won't be accepting my Z06 when it comes in if there's anywhere near the OP that the C7 I saw a few weeks back and the dealer has already been told that....There's no reason for this IMO.
