I always raced trucks but wanted something to cruise around while I finish my street truck project. I had always wanted a cyber grey Z06 and started looking for one. I wanted something different while hanging out with friends and ran across this. It is a Z07/CFZ car which I had never heard of so after doing some research I wanted one. I hadn't seen a supersonic blue up close so I drove out to a dealership and looked at it. It was a cloudy day and when I pulled up it looked almost grey but then when the sun came out it popped blue. I drove to Chicago and picked the car up last week.



In the trailer on the way home



Took it to have the windows tinted




And it seems its either rained or looks like its going to rain since I got home with it...

Z07 is the "ultimate performance" package and gives you the ZR1 suspension (magnetic ride control) and brakes and the CFZ is the carbon fiber package which gives you the splitters, skirts and a carbon roof panel. It's basically a ZR1 with a N/A 7.0 instead of the S/C 6.2. It's close to a "Carbon Edition" but missing the black headlights/mirrors, suede inserts and the "hi-rise" hood.

One of my favorite Corvettes for sure. Prepare to bend over when you need brakes tho...

Thanks. I rolled into Kemah and seen a car that was my twin but it had black rims instead of the competition grey like mine and I would have to say I liked the way the grey looked over the black.

Sick ride man! What are the odds? I was rolling right behind you on marina bay blvd Saturday. I was in the red C5Z, gave you quick thumbs up before i pulled into the parking lot.
