Congrats! :thumbsup:

Where did you get it that you had to drive so far?

Congrats dude!

Man, I wanna be a PDR specialist...

:drool:

LOVE it! Congrats!

a couple of mods, nothing major. i think i'll be keeping it till the end of the year.

I like em both. I'll be putting white stripes on this one pretty soon. I was originally looking for the VCA Edition. The only Red with white stripes coupes made and they only made 49 of those. so they were pretty hard to find. had to settle for this red.

I loved the vette but there are several other cars that i want to own. so had to make the hard decision to sell the Vette.
Charlotte NC


At first I thought my Z was a pretty raw car, but after driving this for an entire day, I can easily consider her a luxury sports car. Viper has like no options what so ever. other than power windows and power pedal positioning. seats are manual and the stereo of pretty decent. Extremely Raw car.

On the other hand, Z had several options including full power seats with lumbar, heating and memory. even heated mirrors. pretty much every power option you can get on a decent luxury car.

Viper is no way in hell a good daily, but you can get use to her very fast. The first two hours in this car were very painful. My neck was already aching and so was my back (I have back problems). Pedals are extremely close to each others so my shoes kept getting stuck and id push two pedals at the same time. After the first two hours, i got comfortable in the seat and pedals became very easy. There isnt much room for anything in the car. the passenger side is extremely compact and uncomfortable. I havent gotten a chance to take it around some turns and curves so not sure how good i feel about the handling

Vette on the other hand was a perfect daily (absolutely perfect) it was very comfortable and again, with all the luxury. you can jump in that car and drive a 1000 miles no problem. it was still very quick and handles great. Their active handling control system is just amazing and perfect for spirited driving. lots of other options in the car. Super roomy compared to the Viper.

Over all, I dont have the best pick out of both. Both are awesome cars in their own ways. But if I had to pick one that will be perfect for every single thing, it would be the Z. Pretty much over any other car out there.

Whoa... :what:

Congrats!! What a pick up!

Wow. Congrats. Looks very nice.

Cant wait to ride in it!
can we go on a photoshoot, please!?

+1. Nice pick up man:thumbsup:

Very nice OP. Is it cougar bait (it is red)?

It's a hard top though. This is a puma magnet...

Nice pickup - beauty.

Will the Viper be your daily driver? Any remorse for giving up the Vette? Any plans to go back to one - Vette?

Wow, noice pickup!

For sure. Once its all detailed and gets paint correction done.

My daily is a F150. This is just a fun car.
No remorse on selling the vette, although I will always miss her. Definitely planing on getting another one in future and going all out on it, as in a twin turbo 1000+HP street car.

What's great about this car

Even at 100mph the rpm are still under 2k!

Wow that's awesome.

Keeping it until the end of the year? So what's next after this?

And Congrats! You should post up some vids of it.

TT by 2k13 or ban!

JK, looks great

Congrats! That thing is a beast!!

Wow congrats, this is one of my dream cars.
That thing revs less on the highway than my TL.

I think my car does half that speed at 1500 rpm in top gear. :what:

congrats :drool:

car looks great

i may be in the minority, but i preferred the Vette

if you dont mind, how much did the z leave for?

I must say, I have all your z threads linked and have had most of your pictures at one point as a desktop. Your z06 is precisely what I want as in my dream car. No lambos or italian horses. Just an 07-08 z with the zr1 lip kit and intake/exhaust. I'm curious what it would have taken to get the car off your hands.

Nice pick up by the way, I'm just sad I don't get to see updates to the z anymore.

No idea on what's next. Ill figure out once I sell this one.

Thanks for the compliments. I sold her for 48. U can pick them up for as low as under 40. Just gotta wait for the right deal and jump on it. There was nothing really to update on her. Didn't do much few months before sselling.
here is the last picture I took. (I think)

^^^love...

Yeah... i have to admit...I'm kinda partial to the Z06 Vette.

Viper for me all the way. I much prefer the 1st gen RT/10s and GTSs, but they are all in a different league than a run-of-the-mill Corvette.

:eek: Where in Charlotte did you pick it up? Should've hit me up... we were around all weekend!

Nice pickup. I was actually at the Food Lion Auto Fair at the speedway this weekend drooling over the Vette's. Viper is just a bit too raw for me. Kind of like the power options and touring ability of the Vette. Still not sure if I'm going to do a Z06 or just a C6 and supercharge it. We'll see when the time comes.

Either way, great pickup and enjoy it!! Make sure to keep us updated on any mods :D

^^^ from Salisbury NC. Had to take a cab to the guys house. Fuck Charlotte 's traffic.
150 bucks for 47 miles.


While getting inspection done ... thought it look cool in the mirror.

^ Man, you should have totally hit me up. Oh well, too late now.

If you're every buying a car in Charlotte again... let me know :)

^ i know that shop well.
Tell Joe that I dont need the lug nut key or lug nuts any more.
I scored a free set

Damn, got rid of the Z06 and picked this up!!

You need this in your life:

^ thats looks really nice. and congrats on the new ride OP

Man, good stuff! Knew this was coming from the "paper chaser, jr". :tongue:
Be careful on those turns with that right foot! No more C6 Active Handling to save your a**. Best of luck with her and hope she is doesnt put a hole in your pocket like the Vette :thumbsup:

Shoot me a text when your around...i wanna see the new beast :toocool:

For sure man. I was short on time and already running 4hrs late from missing the flight. So I had to get the f out of there. Lol.

Nice!
Dude that would kill me.


Yeah man. Thats what I keep hearing. I guess I won't find out until it happens to me.
ill txt u in a bit

:drool:

Dibs on a ride one day! :wish:

Congrats, viper is a beast:thumbsup:
