Was the 3-mil reading typical of most paint thicknesses, or were there thinner spots? That was about the average on body panels. Wings, etc were thinner.
Was there a lot of iron contamination? Kinda hard to show iron decontamination-bleed in a photo on an orange vehicle, I assume. It was not bad at all.
I did have to Goggle what was in a Z51 performance package option. Lots of go-fast suspension, brake, tire, and exhaust "upgrades". The wing-thing, well, to each his own. I guess its function over form.
The color, while unique, could have done without the black dual mid strip, but again, to each his own. It is also one of those colors that just doesn`t "look right" in front of your home-and-shop from the photos you posted, but again that is just me. Some of those side views remind me of a Lamborghini or an over-sized Lotus silhouette. Finally, the Corvette has an "exotic car" appearance. I agree, it does look `exotic` and continues to fool me when I see one on the road!
AND, now the all-important question: Would you buy one? What are your thoughts on this car? (I know, Porsche 911 owners are NOT Chevy Corvette admirers and vise versa. WHAT, did I say something automotive as socially unacceptable? The controversial Captain Obvious.) I like all cars! And I`m a previous Corvette owner as well! That threw a wrench at ya! LOL I would not buy one, however, I`d like to see the ZO6 when it is released. Car is a great bang for the buck, excellent performance and power in a very capable package.
Great detailing workmanship and photographs, as always
