Didn't necessarily sell this 2017 ZO6 so I could get a Tacoma but it's what the new Tacoma is replacing.
Sweet car but a whole lot different than a Taco!

I have loved C7s since the first time I saw one and that Z06 is a dream car for me. Was it hard to let that beauty go?

Yes a lot different for sure. And I already have a modified Jeep Wrangler that is my main off road machine and I already have a full size Ram diesel that I pull everything with... so the Z06 really did fit in well as my "sports car". And yeah I LOVED the power and sound of a super charged V8... and it was a manual! But I put about 5,000 miles on it in the 5 years I owned it. My wife couldn't drive it and I always had to be careful of when and where I drove it. I guess I got a little bored with it and tired of having to pamper it so much - and wanted a project that my wife could drive. Also wanted a vehicle I could take back and forth to Arizona (we have a home there). All that and A guy offered me $10k more than I paid for it 5 years ago... so it actually wasn't that tough to let it go. How's that for a long winded answer?

Great answer - I love a lot of details!

I can understand because I sold my last sports car before buying my Tacoma for mostly the same reasons you did. I just had to ask because IMO the C7 Z06 manual is the probably the best V8, front engine, rear drive sports car of all time.
