Sorry its a manual, and i have only driven her twice due to it still being at the dealer since they are waiting on the tires to show up which may not be till tuesday.

I have worked on a number of these and have always loved they way they ride and just come alive under throttle!

Plans for this winter-
Z06 rear 1/4's
CIA
Long tubes
Custom tune

Anything else you guys suggest?

So gotta say she is a blast to drive I picked the car up at 6:45 and was pulled over at 7:22 for 20mph over (glad I missed 3rd lol) and luckily got a warning.

I think I will be buying the stock clear housings and having the head lights painted black soon. Also the car has a SLP exhaust that sounds amazing!

Car is scheduled for a dyno tune on Saturday, my guy usually sees 16-30whp in stock form so we will see.

To be honest, yes sure am. It was a great feeling to have a awsome cop understand and give me a break, not like i do it every time i take a corner.

Oh well, took the car out after work and love how it drives, can't wait to get some cruises in and maybe some more power.

Should probably update with a picture since I did add the rear wide body and will soon be installing a cam.
