LOL....blue is faster, LOL. I don't know, I was but Im pretty sure he has me now after we did the heads and cam. He is making about 20 more hp than me for a few more weeks atleast. We were gonna go run last weekend but someone bought his heads off his car on Thursday, and his LG's have not come in yet.

The red FRC is sweet but I don't about that blue Z with the chrome rims.

I agree with you. I'm not a fan of chromed wheels; there are in fact some very nice chromed wheels, like the ones on the Red FRC that I like...there's something about stock chromed Z06 wheels that I don't quite grasp.

I was J/K, I have the chrome Z's as well. Some people bust my ***** for having them but I think they work well with the blue.

I was going to get the wheels that are on the red frc and told my friend about them......the next day he ordered them. So instead of us both having the same wheels I just kept my same wheels for now. I want to get some ccw's but man are they expensive.
