Picked up a Z07
 
1 Attachment(s)
So the empty spot in my garage finally got to me. I picked up a 2016 Corvette Z06 with Z07 package on Friday. Shark Gray over Kalahari (tan) interior. I have barely driven the car, so it is not fair for me to try to make any comparisons yet. I am waiting for my radar install (tomorrow) and for my set of winter wheels/tires to go on (hopefully Saturday) for me to actually floor the throttle at speeds under 70 mph.

I can tell you that I crapped my pants driving it home from Atlantic City. The 335 Pilot Sport Cup 2 rears do NOT like 50 degree temps. Car is downright dangerous to drive in the cold on those tires.

More to come.

Cool! Can't wait to see what you think of it. Different flavor for sure and a nice car!

Congrats buddy!! I had a C6 Z06 and I really miss that car! Very violent car. The Z06 has a visceral feeling that's hard to explain.

I knew there must have been a method to your madness :p

Congratulation !!

Thanks, guys. Will give you my honest assessment soon. I'm pretty objective when it comes to cars.

SamboTT@ByDesign 10-20-2015 03:39 PM

Although you may perspire a little more then in the 991 LOL
The car will be a blast! I will always hold a special place in my heart for the Ford GT and anything Z0 or ZR.

I have a 1280 HP '08 Z...which I am selling and will get that exact car/ color you have chosen, to replace my '08. Z06's are beasts and like 991 TT/S's, make a superb DD! Best bang for the buck out there today!! I have had lots of Vettes and they just keep getting way better each generation...

Congratulations on your purchase!! I love that color!

Congratulations!

I was able to drive a Corvette Z06 and a GT3 on the same track a few months ago. The GT3 was sublime and smooth and the Vette was a beast but much better than the prior generation. Both were a lot of fun. The Vette was impressive!

Enjoy...

I can't see a thing. But now I drive a Cayenne Turbo S every day. I realized that my problem was my dislike for my Range Rover Sport. I fixed that problem. :)

Awesome! I'm feeling you on that. Would love to test drive that bad boy :D

Enjoy in the best of health.

Congrats Lorenzo! You've always had a thing for the Z06's since I met you. ;)
