Thumbs up new daily driver showed up today

I was bored of driving the truck every day, so I got something a little more economical. Should be easier to park also.

2009 Z06, cyber gray, 2LZ, red/black interior, comp gray wheels. Picked it up for a little more than $10,000 off MSRP. Good time to be a buyer!










Still putting some break-in miles on it, only has 25 right now. I can't wait to romp it at 7K rpm once the recommended 500 miles hits.

Tony

IIRC, Tony has this red interior obsession. I think he's trying to re-live the 70's.

I like the color contrasting interior, makes it look more custom and unique. No, it isn't for everyone, but then again I'm the one who bought it.

My last C6 had far more red inside, they actually toned it down since then:





I'll roll the stock wheels for a while, no hurry to replace them. I actually like the stock wheels for once. As soon as every Trans Am, C5, C6, Camaro, etc... has them, it will be time to get rid of them.

I was at the Corvette museum a little over a week ago and saw a ZO6 just like that waiting for pick up. Wasn’t yours was it? There was a yellow ZO6 next to it with the same wheels, the yellow looked will good with those wheels on it. Next to those was a Cyber Gray ZR1, the ZR1 really looks awesome in person. Nice car, I’m thinking about picking up a Vette maybe next year. Great time to buy with this economy.

I give it until mid November, Early December at the latest and you will have some crazy wheels on that thing!

That is a safe bet, since the brands that I'm a dealer for often take 2 months to build custom wheels.

I'll be at SEMA next week, will look to see if something catches my eye.

Wasn't mine, it came from a dealership in Michigan. They had it a few weeks already.

Very nice. I also like Cyber Gray and I of course have always loved Competition Grey wheels.

Looks great just being stock, though I'm curious to see what you have in store for it.

Does it come stock with the 427 badge on the hood and the smoked marker lights?
