Today was bitter sweet. The Raptor was and is one of my dream vehicles. Although I only owned it for 9 months….it was always the one I couldn’t wait to drive. So today, I detailed it for the last time and drove it 5.5 hours south from Salisbury, NC to Byron, Ga.

I’ve been waiting for the Z06’s to come down to reality and with a 1,000 HP ZR1 coming soon, there are now over 400 Z06’s nationwide. I’ve been talking to dealers for two weeks. First I found one at sticker (way better than the $5K/$10K over that they have been.) Then a break through at $3K under, another at $5K under and finally the one I bought at $7,600 under sticker.

NC sux for car buying taxes, however you can reduce the liability with a trade and so today I am no longer a Raptor owner. Paid $37,500 for it….drove it for 9mos and 11K miles and they gave me $36,500. Super happy but solemn day as I drove back 5.5 hours under 5K rpm’s for break-in and left my truck in GA.

This is a 2024 Z06 $117,600 MSRP, Paid $110K

- non-Z07
- $995 Red Mist Paint
- $995 Clear targa top
