Man I would really think twice about trading in that Z06 with the M7. If anything I would keep it and add the C8. Those things are just going up in value, they are an end of an era with the...

I recently used Long Island Detailers in Plainview and they did a fantastic job. They came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. Andrew is the owner, super nice guy and does excellent work.

Bought a C7 and C8 from Mike and he was great to deal with. Bought a C6 from MM and they were great to deal with. These are the only two dealers I'll consider buying Vette's from. I've traded cars...

Had my C8 for 3 years and recently traded it for a ZL1. The C8 was just too refined and polished for me. In a weekend car I just want more personality and I guess more drama. I found myself...

Large allocations, great pricing, absolutely no games or BS unlike my local dealers who are a joke. My last 3 Vettes were from MM and Criswell, I think I'll always buy from them unless something...

This is exactly why I would personally go with the C7 Z06 and why I just dumped my C8..just too polished and refined for me, though it was just a weekend car and not a daily.

Funny you mention that, when I drove my C6 down to Criswell to trade in for my C7, I got a cracked windshield on 95 from a truck with all sorts of debris flying out of the back. I was nervous as...

This sounds different than mine, which is a squeak that happens every time I take off from a stop with moderate throttle and get to about 30mph. It literally sounds like a bird chirp every time...
