I can assure it is not financial, the annual costs of running a Z06 is nothing compared to running a season in my dedicated racecar, with tow vehicle and enclosed trailer. Which in turn cost significantly less than the annual costs of operating my 52 ft boat. This is not meant to be a flex, just to make the point that some people really do like lighter, simplified performance cars and don’t want all the fluff.

I am actually quite pleased with the base 1LZ trim for use as a street car. However, I am thinking of putting $10–15K into lightening the car with titanium exhaust, Li battery, lighter forged wheels, and carbon seats – if I can take another 100-150 lbs out of my 1LZ it starts to approach Porsche GT and Ferrari weights for half the price.

Best to see thie colors and optons in real life rather than the configurator. I learned that this weekend. To my surprise. I saw several loaded Z's maxed out to 175K with options marked at MSRP and they were still sitting unsold. Not sure if they will last long, but its looking like some dealers have customer ordered cars that were backed out at the last minute and they are now available.

On the other hand. Some of the dealers were still wanting ADM's on their in stock Z's. So there is still a big mix. I, Saw my first 2 Eray's. I saw a white one that was absolutely beautiful. It was sold car at MSRP. The other one was a blue one at different dealership, but it was up for sale with ADM. Not sure of what it was, but was told at that dealership that all erays and Z's .....they were asking ADM.

So for those on long lists, you may want to look around to see if you can find a nugget hiding in your local neighborhood as it appears things are getting better. This was not the case around here 6 months ago.
