    CCF Z06 owners 2023 & 2024

    There was a thread on this but... I took delivery of a 2023 2LZ Convertible Z06 with Z07 in October. This was not my car, I lucked out on getting it from the original owner backing out. I really like it even though its not my ideal spec, its still a good spec just not my #1 choice. I'd probably...

    C8 Z06 Insurance Cost

    They had the VIN and knew what they were insuring. They just didn't inform me until 30 days before renewal that they don't insure anything over 580hp. New rule came out in July. They were not insuring my Z06 as a Stingray, insurance companies aren't stupid. The info is on the VIN but they...

    C8 Z06 Insurance Cost

    I pay $120 a month for full coverage during the summer months, however my insurance broker contacted me Friday to tell me my insurance will be dropping the Z06 at renewal because it has over 580 horsepower. Apparently they added this as a new rule in July but decided to wait until 30 days...

    Which dealers exempted Luxury Tax for orders before 2022

    Finch does it right because they submit the order into the system with the pricing at the time as well as a sales agreement. This allows them to bypass the luxury tax if you submitted a build to them and got on their waitlist before it came into effect. The same thing occurred with my...

    New 2023 Z06 available

    For anyone wondering, I'm the guy. I own the Blackwing and the C7 Z06. The Blackwing was not horrendous to acquire (15 months for an allocation), the waitlists for one aren't anywhere near as long as a Z06 but the cars themselves are much rarer (roughly 1600 built a year). This opportunity...

    What do you think about the new colors?

    Obviously we haven't seen any actual cars yet, just the body panels and GMs render images. However I think Zeus is better then Caffeine but it does look to be an interesting colour. Interested to see how it plays out in sun/shade but this colour would never be my choice. Hypersonic looks...

    Featured Happy Birthday to me! Heres my new C8!

    Yes, the exhaust sounds quieter from inside, outside the loudness is more or less the same decibels as a C7. I understand why its quieter, more sound deadening to protect from hearing everything from the engine, accessories, valves etc but I'd love to hear a bit more without breaking the bank.

    It a separate option. Seat belt colour has to be optioned separately from stitching colour.

    Featured Happy Birthday to me! Heres my new C8!

    I haven't pushed it and honestly, I doubt my non Z51, non mag ride C8 Stingray is going to outhandle my Z06 so I can't speak for your car (do you have Z51 and mag ride?) but I guess it should feel more confidence inspiring if your pushing it to the limits.

    Featured Happy Birthday to me! Heres my new C8!

    Well other then the obvious differences being that the engine is behind you and you sit further forward, the brake pedal and throttle, even on the lowest setting feel incredibly responsive compared to the linear feel of my C7. Just a little bit is all you need and it stops hard. The cabin feels...

    Interior space C7 vs C8

    I'm 6'2 and 32 and with competition seats I sit in my C7 Z06 as low as possible and still have two inches of travel to put the seat back. My C8 will be arrive very shortly but from what I recall the interior space improved very slightly in the C8 from the C7 so I don't see why I won't fit just...

    FreightVerify

    I believe he knew it was in Ingersoll because the destination said Bowling Green to Ingersoll. GM Authoirty says VINVIEW uses OnStar, whether that's correct is anyone's guess. I did just ask my salesman to use VINVIEW and he said he got it to work. Car shows as being at the CAMI plant in...
