Purchased & signed the deal on her today. They'll be delivering her Thursday night. She's pretty well loaded, '08 with a 36k on the odo, has a couple flaws, but I couldn't pass her up; had everything I originally wanted in a Z.


Surreal feeling, and I don't even have her yet.

 

Congrats! Is that the one you're driving back from out of state?

 

Nice score! Enjoy

 

No. That one sold unfortunately. This is a local car.

 

Awesome Z!
cant wait to see more photos of it! and if you have any plans for it.

Vroom!

 

Congrats buddy! Love the C6Z. Does it have stock heads?

 

AFAIK, yes. I've got a 2 year GM warranty that covers it, but my first major "mod" will be getting new heads in her. After that, won't worry too much about voiding the warranty.

 

Congrats! That looks like a ton of fun!

 

That car is bulletproof. Congrats!!

 

congrats Rick!!! it's an awesome car... as long as you are under warranty on the heads... it will carry you for the next 2 yrs.. then mod away after that!!!

 

Hell yeah! Congrats

Are you keeping the GS too?

 

Thank you all.
Yessir. I actually have my TL still that will serve as my daily.

 

Baller alert

 

Congrats man!

 

Head on over to Steven Bell's Vette modding thread for ideas. Nice pick up bro!

 

That thread will be my nightmare. All those badass mods I need to wait on. Haha.

 

LS-zine grows!!!

 

Congrats!!!

 

I love the C6Z as well. And a great colour.

 

Congrats! Love the c6Z. My dream car as well

 

Congrats.. While I didn't have a Z06, I had a 2011 GS 6MT before my V and it was a lot of fun..

Enjoy...

 

Awesome, congrats Rick! Looks like a bad-ass car. Enjoy it

 

Congrats Rick! At least no one will say "swap an LS into it."

 

Nice! Glad things finally worked out for your.

You should swap a B16 into it.

 

you mean k-swap... b's are so 2000...

 

Awesome car, congrats!

 

LS Swa ....

 

Nice as long as you have warranty I wouldn't sweat it but the day it ends its time for heads as 'preventative maintenance' and some fun The stock valve guides in the LS7 are the only worry points I'm aware of about that motor. Two of my buddies have dropped valves from the poor valve guide machining and destroyed the long block over them.

 

I was very close to going for a GS 6MT due to the valve issue on the LS7, but decided to accept that risk and keep after what I wanted. The GS would still be the best of both worlds.
That's all I'm aware of as well, other than the LS7 block not quite as responsive to mods as the LS2/3 block, but that's such an afterthought for me.

 

Nice ride! Now just waiting for more photos.

 

Whoa congrats! Love the Z06!

 

I'll shoot for Saturday afternoon or Sunday to post some nice pics. It rained this morning and the weather's been a little chilly today, so a bit hesitant to try anything today.

 

Send that weather our way!

 

be careful on what you wish for!
I still enjoy coming out of my 60 degree office and into 90 degrees of sunshine!!

 

Congrats Rick! Nice ride.

 

Awesome looking ZO6....looking forward to more pictures.

 

Pics from when she was delivered, and one where my cars finally met lol. Apologize for the awful phone pics, though.




I am starting to wonder though, if the previous owner did address the head issue or did anything else. I've found that the back of my little cubby holder just under the temp. controls had been cut out, exposing some wiring. Not sure what the previous owner had there unless it was a radar.

 

NPP exhaust?

 

I don't think so, because even if the previous owner installed the Mild to Wild switch it's usually remote controlled by a key FOB looking controller. I had one on my 2011 GS, But I guess anything is possible.

 

i only suggested it because z06 boy hides his mild to wild remote in that cubby so he doesn't have to carry it around on his keys... but since it is wireless, it wouldn't explain the wires... maybe a wideband?
