Really want to thank Les ( All Flash ) for helping me find a dealer . Its been tough , waiting all this time .
 
Great looking C7 Kazman. That would be quite a first trip Montreal to Timmins.

Enjoy the ride.
 
Speaking of that.... I had alot of initial concerns of whether I should lower the bolts or not, especially with respect to the ground effects. In the end, I didn't lower (or have my dealer) them whatsoever and I am fine with that. The ground effects haven't even come close to scraping and it feels good to just drive, rather than slowing for every driveway or road imperfection.

Same as me Les . I love the look of the "slammed" Z06 but , living in Timmins , never gonna happen . Out of a list of 10 worst roads in Ontario, Timmins had the #1 spot plus another two in the top 10 . Hell , I may even have to jack it up lol .
 
Just as a bit of an add on... I got my oil changed today and had found a GM release (in French though) with respect to timing (800km) of the first oil change, and also that the complimentary oil changes are to be fulfilled using Mobile 1. I had to laugh at the dealership as, even in the Quick Lube bay, the car garnished a crowd around it, many of whom complimented me on the car. I almost felt like someone was pulling a joke on me with so many people around and speaking of it...in the Chev dealership.

Can't wait to see some more shots of yours!!!! Long week for you isn't it?

How much Oil does this beast take ? As for me , long weekend for sure , I need a break from work , first Day off this year , other than the odd weekend .
 
That is one slick looking car. Even at stock ride height, the flexible air dam across the front of our `05 scrapes once in a while. I can`t imagine lowering it any with the roads and driveways that I use. Our driveway is gravelled and I had to rake some of the crown off the centre so that the air dam wasn`t scraping.

Thanks , definitely a crowd gatherer , yours will be the same . When I picked mine up , there was a Blue Hard top in there for a change of tires !!! go figure lol , that Blue looks sick as well .
 
My goodness could you have picked a worse day to make the journey home? What a nasty day it was.

A moose must seem like it is twenty feet tall from the seat of a Corvette. :WillyNilly:

Good luck getting it all cleaned up and again enjoy the car, it is a beauty.

TFX International tells me that my new Z06/Z07 will be delivered next week. The carbon fibre ground effects package was installed at the Listowel dealership before shipping. The car will never be driven off paved roads, but I'm concerned about scraping on speed bumps, potholes, steep driveways into strip malls, etc. Should I be? If so, can the offending aero bits be removed readily and reinstalled for track days?

Well , on the drive back we hit , road works between Mattawa and North Bay , GRAVEL !!! lumps bumps and pot holes , not a lot but enough to give me a mild heart attack lol . Go slow in these circumstances , is my best advise . I managed to get through without a scrape . Been out driving around Timmins today just to " Test " angles and bumps . So far , so good , but again , if your not sure , go slow er lol . Personally , I would leave the suspension as is until you drive it in your own area .
