The East Coast/Southern United States leg of Chevrolet’s Z06 Corvette dealer tour made its fifth stop of a scheduled total of 70 over a six-month period of time at Estero Bay Chevrolet in Estero, Florida. Chevrolet’s newest supercar has recently started making its rounds to various dealers to give enthusiasts across the country their first hands-on experience with the car.

Both a C8 Stingray and the new Z06 Corvette share space in this trailer along with the requisite cutaway displays as they make their way around the country during the Z06 Corvette dealer tour.

Hundreds of Corvette enthusiasts were present at the dealership for the 10:00 am opening of the tour, which not only featured the C8 Z06 but also included displays of exterior color panels, interior and seating options, brake calipers, cutaways of wheels, tire cutaways, and other accessories. The highlight, of course, was the Accelerate Yellow C8 Z06 with black interior and carbon fiber wheels which made a stunning appearance. Everyone was blown away when the ignition was pressed and the flat-plane, 32-valve, DOHC LT6 came to life, producing an exhaust note that silenced the crowd and was absolutely chilling. Without a doubt, it can be said that the C8 Z06 is Zora’s dream come true.

Estero Bay Chevrolet was founded in 2007 and has received Chevrolet’s Dealer of the Year Award an unprecedented four years in a row, 2018 through 2021. When it comes to Corvettes, Estero Bay was in the 21st Top National Dealer position in 2021. Estero Bay’s success is in large part, attributed to Patrick Denson, Partner and General Manager, and the sales and maintenance teams he has developed.

The eye-searing Z06 was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd at the Estero Bay Chevrolet dealership.
