Default Joining the club..........finally

Just bought an '03 EB Z06. I will be picking it up tomorrow. The car is immaculate and the way it drives is so much better than the trans am. I wish I would have done this sooner. I will post pics once I get a chance to this weekend.

I already looking at a vararam intake, long tubes and a cam right now. It as a B&B Triflow and the zip tie mod right now. I want tog et it on the dyno just to see where it is at to start with then throw some more stuff at her. Just hope the LS7 clutch will hold up for a bit. This world is alot different than the fbodies, so it is gonna take some time for me to get stuff done.
