Big addition to the family coming soon. Here's a teaser shot. Very low mileage.
Can you guess?

Disclaimer... the beast isn't going anywhere except to my son. I'll be able to take him to shows with me now that he will have a chevy lol.

C7

ariZona28 · 06-30-2021, 08:24 PM

I think the logo on the steering wheel gives it away! Nice find. Can't wait for for pics and info.

Ashen 6.2 · 06-30-2021, 08:25 PM

Awesome! Need more pics!!

TheFlyingBananaSS · 06-30-2021, 08:36 PM

I'll get more pics up next week with a break down of options. Gotta fly out Saturday and finalize the deal.

A C7, 3LT, possibly a 3LZ, obviously A8, perhaps 16 Z or a 17 GS. The hood bulge looks Z06ish, but could just be the angle. I don't see the carbon fiber Z06 lower steering wheel bezel, but that could just be a shadow. So I'll stick with my 16 or 17 prediction, only because the brownstone interior was very popular in those 2 years.

Congrats and come on over to the corvetteforum and join us.

Nice. C7 is on my short list to own eventually. It'll be parked beside by 57 Chevy, 2-door hardtop in the garage.

Excellent identification skills. It is indeed a 2017 ZO6 with 3LZ. Already registered in the Corvette forum too. Been lurking and researching for a bit.

You're going to absolutely love every minute of being in that car. It's on a different level. Glad it's a 17, with the taller SC lid. Hope you'll make it to Corvettes at Carlisle in August. That's a 3day show you won't regret visiting. And feel free to reach out with any Z06 related questions. I'll gladly help.

TheFlyingBananaSS · 07-01-2021, 02:52 PM

I learned about the overheating issue on the forum and only looked at 2017 or newer. Chevy claims 0-60 at 2.95 seconds in the automatic and a 1/4 mile time of 10.95

Definitely will be a fun car to have. Not as fast as my Camaro but that's fine.

Camaro fanboy · 07-02-2021, 04:20 AM

very nice. only seen a few here in sweden and see a zl1 yesterday..damn what a beautiful car.
eye candy at it's finest..i much prefer the look of the c7 to the c8..something i just cant put a finger on it but it does nothing for me looks wise.
if could get out of them without looking a twat i'de own one. my old legs just wont allow it..the camaro sits just high enough for a dignified exit.
getting out of a car in a perking lot on your knees is not a good look lol

I like Corvettes, but every one I see seems to be some grey haired guy doing under the speed limit. It’s a stigma that’s hard to shake no matter how hard I drove ours. It’s one reason she wanted a Camaro.

It was those damn chrome wheels on your C6. Octogenarians can smell the chrome.

LOL. I got chrome too. I'm actually leaving in a few minutes to go check the car over. Should be driving it around by next week if work doesn't interfere with my life
