Just put down a deposit on a Z06

Got my Z51 in May of last year. Have put 32,000 miles on it already. Love it, however I realized I really would rather have the Z06, so I put in the order today.

Going with very similar colors, 3LZ, Z07, Competition Seats.

Now the wait begins

Congrats! Wish I could do the same though I love my Z51. I will probably be holding onto this baby for awhile unless the next gen is something crazy like an awd hybrid 800hp mid engine beast lol. I really need an over the top excuse to get another one

Nice, that's some solid miles. Traded my Z51 after 15 months and 13k miles for my Z06. You won't be sad when you see your new one, huge difference.

I got my 2015 Z51 in November, have 1450 miles on it, and I have already requested from Becky that she put me on her list to order a 2016 Z06 as soon as she has the allocation. I love this Z51, but can only imagine how much better the Z06 will be, can't wait............

Congrats! It'll be night & day... I know. I owned two C7 Z51's for 14 months and the Z06 is a whole new level.

Awesome Steve! Did you order from Hendrick? Have yet to see a new Z06 here in the Triangle.

Congrats! I did the same thing last year and have not regretted the decision. The Stingray was a great car, but the Z06 is just a beast. Enjoy...

The last (3) vettes I've owned were , C5-ZO6, C6-ZO6, and C6-ZR1.

The best Vettes start with a Z.........
