The first night in my z06... I picked up my 2002 Yellow Z06 yesterday from the older man that sold it to me. I took it hom, took the sheep skin covers off immediatly, and gave her a bath. That night, my little group of friends with GM performance cars got together at our local hang out... Bone Daddy's (dfw people know this place) and had a fun time getting there... but had more fun coming back home, got to run a 240SX... turbo'd pretty quick. But just the sheer enjoyment of feeling the road and having the power and the flashy color was just amazingly fun. Like a celebrity, everyone looks at you (reminds me to get the windows tinted). Just had an absolute blast. It's fun when strangers walk up to you in a resturaunt and say "man thats a badass vette" and "so you just got it today? oh yeah, i over heard your sister talking about, dude thats sweet" Anyway... just thought i'd share my first night's experience wow! Should have got one of these a long time ago!

Congrats on the Z!
As for tires, I'd recommend the Nitto 555 R2's in a 305mm width. They're a nice stiff sidewall street tire with drag radial compound. Treadwear 100.
