Nice!!!

Congratulations!!!!


Please post back later your "after the adrenaline rush" experiences with your beast.

Plenty of great information on this section, from extraordinary owners, that you will NOT find on other forums, per my experience.

Break her in, then point it in the direction you want to go, and REV that
SWEET LS7 up to at least 6700K through 3 gears, and let us know what you think!!!!

It is amazing to me how different the feel is of the Zo6 when compared to the standard coupe.(Never drove a vert) It's a lot more than a widebody kit and a more powerful engine for sure.

Congrats, but how is the steering wheel any different than the one in your '07 Z51?
