With the SS gone (Inspector12's now) and a decision between Shelia and I not to proceed with some personal decisions, I was given the green light to move on to my "next" project before my wifes scheduled surgery in May...

What a great woman huh...!?!

Well, after much thought (about 2 seconds) I decided to take the plunge...Dallas here I come!

Welcome home! 2007 Z06 sitting on the show room floor w/ 7 miles on the odometer. Thanks Paco for the enclosed trailer to bring her home in...!

Thanks everybody...pretty much plan on the usual stuff for the C6Z's. KOOKS, Tune and better air intake set up. Will hold off on any "interior" engine mods for quite sometime...Close to 500RWHP and 3100lbs should be fun for awhile!!

Got a great deal from Young Chevrolet in Dallas. Hal Hipp was the salesman and couldn't have asked for a better guy! He even stayed 2 hours after the dealership closed to help load the car in the enclosed trailer...

All I can say is it was behind list...
