Been looking for a while, but finally came upon the right deal to pull the trigger. Purchased a 2014 Zl1. Since it is going to be used as an HPDE car, major needs were Recaro's and no sunroof.

Now I have the long wait for the 1500 mile break-in period.

Don't know that I love the black wheels with the black car, but I can always address that later. After I got it home and in the sunlight, I noticed since the car was sitting in the showroom for a while, and has a ton of swirls and surface scratches. Will need a full detail, probably some serious compounding for some of the scratches. Debating asking the dealer to do it, but suspect they will make it worse, and I have all the right stuff to do it myself.

Otherwise, all is great, loving it so far. Looking forward to being more active here.

Congratulations. In general I don't like black rims but do REALLY like them on a black car. Has that Grand National, Darth Vader look going that looks mean as hell.
I'd detail it myself as I don't like or trust dealers with my cars.

Looks killer!
