Default Picked up a '16 red z06 convertible
Picked up a '16 red z06 convertible w/ z07 + carbon fiber + leather & suede packages. Massive improvement over the '09 c6 I had in every aspect.

Impressed w/ the interior and ride comfort. Its on par w/ our Tesla. Now we have two cars that do 0 to 60 under 3 sec.

I would love to have that engine in my 02 SS. That car is a beast. Congrats on the purchase.

From the looks of that house I'm betting that vette was well within your price range lol. Beautiful ride man!

Thanks y'all. Got some new shots after a fresh coat of wax.

Btw. If you are near Frisco there is a car show to support the families of the fallen Dallas officers this Saturday. https://www.facebook.com/events/1733...976173/?ti=icl

Improvements everywhere. They rebuilt the seats ground up. Way more comfortable. Ride is way smoother with magnetic suspension. Body.. its a lot wider. I dig the new look and taillights.

Interior in the C6 I had was mostly plastic and bare. Granted that was a 1LZ.

The suede, leather and alcantra package on the new Z06. Its nicer... way nicer than the Ferrari 458 and Lambo Huracan I checked out..

458 seemed dated actually and bare. Huracan had more plastic than I was expecting.

For comparison

I'd like to talk to you. I have some ideas for apps that I think would turn a profit if developed. I just dont know how to make the apps as I went to school for finance.
