Gary
Hollander is no stranger to the Corvette community he has been involved
with America's only true sports car for over 50 years now. Gary
has owned eighteen Corvettes over that time period, that in
itself qualifies him as a genuine Corvette enthusiast and our "Corvette
Nut" of the month.
Gary's latest toy is a stunning 2019 Sebring orange Z06 Coupe. He
ordered it on 12/4/2017, it was built on 1/29/2018,
and finally delivered on 2/16/2018. Being an early
bird enabled Gary to pick up one of the first production line 2019
"Z's" with vin #000008.
The
Z's Sebring orange paint is an extreme attention getter, GM's new paint
process is really paying off. The car is equipped with the Z07
Ultimate Performance Package. To make the Z more usable on the street
Gary replaced the Michelin Pilot Cup II tires with a set of tamer
Michelin Pilot Super Sport run flats. A recent survey by GM indicates
that very few Z07 package equipped Z's ever see track duty. That
Z07 logo does however give Corvette owners the all important bragging
rights in the Corvette world.
The
"Z's" jet black 3LZ interior is complimented with competition seating
and a very slick looking carbon fiber dash. The Z07 exterior package
really tricks out the look of the car. Stage III front wiglets, front
splitter, side rails, exposed hood insert and roof panel are all set in
very exotic looking carbon fiber.
Gary
carried the carbon fiber look well beyond the factory parameters.
He added a carbon Nowicki Auto Sports Hood vent, carbon front brake
ducts, A-pillars, rear tail light bezels and rear wickers.
The
car draws attention wherever it goes and has already won five 1st
Place/ Best of Class Awards and two Best of Show Awards, most recently
at the Route 66 Corvette Round-up.
