Default Getting the Itch!!!

Believe it or not spring is coming..... just the sound of march 1 makes me excited..

Time to dust off the Ole' Z06 and bring it out of storage in about 3 weeks, The only problem is these damn new C7 Z06's are looking so damn mean. I may have to pull the trigger on on of these things. Im actually doing everything in my power to talk myself out of buying one

Lets wake it up in here!!!!!

I agree... Ready for spring, and to drive something other than my truck

Been debating selling my 03z and ordering a ZL1 lately... Can't make up my mind on that one.

I love the new C7 Z06 and a 1LZ is a great buy... I don't need heated seats, navigation or any other stuff.

Was out cruising around yesterday. Was 55 and beautiful after work. Roads are a bit salty and a little wet in places but that just makes things interesting.

I think you should give me the old Z if you buy a new one.. My name starts with Z, so it fits... Z for Z!

I like the LS7 motor. Sounds mean! Nothing like a healthy sounding n/a motor... But the new Z is just as cool. Would be a hard call for me if I had the money!
