Default The new Z

Here's my new Chevy, along with the old one. The truck, while making about the same power as the Z, holds a slight disadvantage in the corners.

Thanks! I just got the Z06 and they tell me it's actually Machine Silver on the other site. All I know is it's Silver.
Nice car you have, I like the mods! I have a friend that lives in MA with a 97 Vette that has alot done as well. You might even know him, his names Brent. I've hung out with him a few times at NED.
As far as the truck, yea it's fun to surprise people with at the stoplights.

The weather was nice here today for hp, humidity I think got as low as 29% and 40 degrees when my wife and I took a drive. My gosh this Z was screamin. Plus the cold pavement made for a wild ride on those 2nd gear punches. Had to be careful, but even with active handling and traction cntrl disabled (always) the car is nice and balanced even when out of shape.
I love the 04 shift linkage!
