Default gettin my 06 zo6

looks like my dad has moved on to exotic cars..... so i'll be getting the Z for a good price... just have to wait 3 months till my reckless driving ticket drops off....
probally leave this one pretty much alone and continue to mod the truck....
just curious as to it's weaker points.... it has just under 5k miles on it... and don't wanna be suprised....

Reckless driving tickets + C6Z = Lawyer

How old are you? How much is he selling it for? It should be plenty quick stock but do a search and find out the few issues they have.

Congrats

Must be nice. Doesn't sound like the recession is hurting you too much. What do you and your dad do for a living?
