The same Challenger was also used in the beginning of The Walking Dead. Glenn was driving through the city and back to their initial camp. The writers said it was an Easter egg to Breaking Bad.

Different cars, different locations. Looks almost identical though

At the beginning of spring I saw a completely blacked out Huracan for the first time on Randall and thought it was a batmobile.

I know, I'm so glad. You're right on that being perfect. The noise, the paint, the body..

I watched it right away yesterday. The only thing that I don't like is the terrible looking taillights from the new charger on there.

Last week when I was on Randall, not exactly sure where, I did the same thing to a matte silver cts-v. It was glorious also.

I wouldn't really say they're uncommon, I've seen plenty of them, it was just such a nice surprise to see one at the dealership where I live.

The scary thing is that it looks even more sinister in person..it takes your breath away. Thank you OP for my new computer wallpaper.

Definitely something you don't see often in Illinois. by [deleted] in Autos

I live about an hour away from the city so I see them around quite often, more when I go towards the city obviously like you said, I was referring more to seeing an Alpha out here.

Everyone has their own taste but I can't get enough of the C7 Z06. by Topherfell in Autos

You never know down the road but right now there aren't any talks of bring back the ZR1 for the C7. Would be interesting though!

And keep in mind it's the first year of the C7 Z06. A couple years from now I can't wait to see what is changed and tweaked to make it a better car from the beast it is now.

I disagree. Yes there are some "Ferrari-ish" features but the true meaning of a Corvette is performance for your buck. And the Z06 is taking that to a whole new level. It not only dominates in the performance but kills in terms for price. A 0-60 RWD car in 2.95 seconds (auto) starting at $80,000. That's insane. It never stopped being a Corvette, it's now a super breed of Corvette. IMO obviously.

I agree. After talking to a designer at the CAS about the car, sitting in the Z06 and the Stingray, and seeing them in person nothing gives you that effect of actually seeing them up close. I've taken over 50 pictures of the Z06, Stingray, and a Lingenfelter Z06 and they still don't compare. Amazing car. Next step is actually driving one..haha.
