Default From LS3 to LS7

Actually it should be - From LS7 to LS1 to LS3 to LS7...

I had a 2007 Z06 a few years back but had to sell it. After that I had a project car with an LS3 that I just sold. Just found this 2009 3LZ and it is a blast so far.

Going to replace the current spoiler with a ZR1 one, and then a complete detail. I am going back and forth on what I think of the hood, but it is growing on me more and more. The hood looks a lot better in person.















The car I just sold:

E36 m3?

Bet that was fun with the LS3. How much did you get for it?

I am also on the fence about the hood. Kind of looks good but a little over the top IMO

Anything done under that hood? I see it's got stop techs...what else?

It sure was! It was a very fun car when it was all done. Got right around 20k for it after taking some parts off.

Only mods are suspension and brakes. Motor is stock, for now..... May do some little things after I get more familiar with it.

Very nice Z.
The previous owner was definitely looking for different with that hood.
Seperates it from the rest.
Not sure I like it tho.

On the fence about the hood myself...but it does look functional. Either way, the car looks badass. Congrats!

If you decide to loose the hood,..doing a build on a C6 right now for a friend...he may like your hood,..so if you wanna part with it down the road,..we may be interested.

Any chance you have the factory calipers and rotors?
If so you want to sell them?

Thanks

Not a fan of the hood or spoiler. But real nice car. Another 1 1/2 drop and the lines will pop and that car will be simply awesome!!

Any chance the prev owner gave you the stock Z06 brakes along with the car??? I really cant see that much improvement with Stoptechs over the stock Z06 brake system.
