Think I might get a Z06, been looking and great deals out there right now with prices lower than MSRP. Good selection too before the 26 refresh. Thinking carbon fiber wing package and front end lift, looked into the Z07 package but don't want the Cup2s on the street. A few I've found have the carbon brakes only and one has carbon brakes and carbon wheels. Anyhow did you like it? got tired of it? reliability seems to be good, a few had engines replaced but not many. Hardcore cars like that can get on your nerves after a while. Only space for 1 car for me. Seems to be a good list of 1 and two year old used ones, low miles as I think people got a bit more roughness than they bargained for or the wife hated it. GM is not selling them certified though. Just the remainder of the warranty.
 
I don't have a Black Wing but I do have a CTS-V Wagon. I also have room for 3 powerful cars, so I bought a 2025 Eray. Bullet quick and comfortable.
 
I’m tall with tall torso, so it’s hard for me to fit in some cars. I went to dealer and sat in the HTC and after 15 minutes of seat fiddling was able to make it work. That’s cross plane crank engine sounds so good.
 
I sold my 2023 5V Blackwing and my C7Z for a '23 Z06 with Z07.

I have commented on it numerous times. The Z06 is a weapon, the engine is ridiculous.

My TLDR is that the car is so potent and basically lives at the bleeding edge that I couldn't enjoy it on the public road without risking my license.

If you have better control than me (I thought I did, I've owned multiple high performance vehicles but never one with a high strung motor going to almost 9k and 700hp) you will love it. I loved mine but within 6 months knew I would end up on the evening news so I sold it and went back to a C7Z manual.

The price for me in Canada has gone up a lot and if I could buy one again I would just order a base 1LZ with no options. The engine is the star of the show, the options don't matter. You don't need a wing or heated seats or carbon fiber, you just giggle like a school girl when you start it and rev it out.

Seriously don't waste your money on all the extra bullshit, the only thing that makes this car special is the engine.
 
I would love to get Z06...... once they add the third paddle.
