    Default out with the old, in with the new

    well after selling my rx7 and my busa i flew out to Calli from south GA and drove home my new "to me" 2008 z06. the car is amazing and it has power for days. me and a Buddie took turns driving straight through and it was a great experience, def had time to bond with the car. it has 1 7/8 long tube headers and a off road x pipe. for once i plan on keeping this car close to stock for a while.

    Meh, I'm not a fan of Corvettes, but you got a great color and seems to be in great shape. Congratulations on the new car.

    Wow. Nice upgrade. Faster and actually built for the power, not to mention the luxury aspect of it. LSx RX7s are sweet cars for sure, but the LS7 Z06s are a completely different ball game.

    Awesome car for sure. The C6 chassis is a hell of a lot better than the C5, IMO.

    There are a million of them on the road, what made you fly out to California to get this one though? Just curious.

    that's that striker blue?? i love that color. Yeah, them Z06 Vettes, are not even really vettes, they are made completely different than normal corvette, engine is hand built, dry sump, trans in the rear, the paint is done in a contaminant-free enviroment, (the techs have to get de-contaminated before going in), and a bunch of other crap, it's crazy, there is a video somewhere on how these things are made, i was not such a huge fan of vettes, until i saw that video, now i love the z06s, i know u are a happy camper, congrats!!
