Truly impressive!! You could replicate this setup for 8K including the rims and tires.
It only runs 9.95@145mph very freaking impressive and very fast shifts!!

a stock one pulled up next to me on the expressway at 80 and his tires lost traction b/c of the insane acceleration. One reason to never mess with a new Z06

They are fun cars, but I've seen 3 of them blow thier motors at Motorsports Ranch, and it isn't even a very high speed track. One of them was my dads with me driving. It wasn't a small mishap either. The block cracked and one of the heads was warped beyond repair.

Do you plan on leaving it stock? If I was you I'd find someone to tune the car and leave it stock. My dads made 473whp bone stock with a tune, and he wishes he'd of left it that way. Once you get rid of the factory TQ management the car is a different animal. The exhaust bypass switch was one of the best mod he made to that car too.

man i am having hard time with my insurance company, they are killing me with their price quote for the 07 Z06

around 3500 dollars a year (insurance quote)
I am almost 21, with a speeding ticket and a reckless driving Misd

I drove the Z06 once, and fell in love with it..... handling is no way near the EVO
