Specially lightened components[ windshield, side windows are thinner] [titanium exhaust ]take about 100 lbs off the car.HD clutch and transmission[different gear ratios] in the tranny, only comes with 6 speed,1" wider wheels and wider,lighter non run-flat tires. Higher lift longer duration cam,lighter valves although they are .40 longer to keep valvetrain geometry in line due to the use of a smaller base circle cam.Larger sway bars with metal rather than plastic end links.Only come in FRC body style and limited colors...

Your car looks sweet as usual, I don't remember you having a car that didn't. Although the v6 from many years ago left a little to be desired. Remember those days.
Anyway, the Z06 can be had at a reasonable price. I bought mine last year at COH with 1000 miles on it and paid $42! It was still new and I get the 3 year 36k warranty and got new car rates on financing since it was low mileage and the same year. So I couldn't turn that deal down. Let me know in advance before you come out, I live in Katy. That way I can be sure to be available.
