Thanks guys!
Drive from the dealership was nice, but being Interstate 15 in Salt Lake City, it was hard to keep it within the break-in limits. I offered to let my wife drive it home, but she declined. Afterall, even though I say "my" car, it's really ours. I would still be in the Gen 5 if it weren't for her researching local dealerships and trying to keep the dealership honest after we ordered it. That's one of the many things I love about her. She's into Camaros as much as, if not more than I am. We met because she had a 2010 Camaro SS, and I had the 2013 ZL1. That should make things a bit easier when it comes time for mods! Wish they had a 6th gen version of that emote...

Pretty cool that your wife is into cars as well - I think that's pretty rare. My wife is not into cars - but she said 'it's your car, get what you want' so I'm satisfied with that! Now mods - that's harder to approve haha. I'm probably going to keep mods to a minimum. Now: ppf - dropped the car off last night, should be ready tomorrow ZL1addons rock guards - already bought but need to install ZL1addons lift pads - got them but need to install Homelink upper console with garage buttons - should be arriving today Trunk mat - already installed Hitch mount - bought but need to install (I mountain bike often) Later in the Fall: Winter wheel/tire set Winter mat set Later later: Tint Suade knee pads Suade dash pad maybe ZL1 door panels I'd also like to get some type of permanent paint coating done but it might have to wait since it's pricey.

Yeah, I love the mountain views here. Need to take some good photos of the car with a mountain backdrop before she gets put away for the winter. Quote:
Also waiting for them to make the rock guards available for the Gen 6 ZL1s. They are a bit different than the non ZL1 versions. Tint may come soon. XPEL will probably be a future addition to at least the CF insert, if not more. And I'll do the ceramic coating myself while it's put away for winter.

I just love the way the car hugs the turns on the winding canyon roads. I think the handling is better than my Gen 5 ZL1.

Congrats! Looking good! Are you going to adhere to the break-in period? I just passed 1500 miles today! Pretty excited to give it the beans tomorrow
