Default Bored, thought I'd post a few pics :)

Weather has been nice so I finally cleaned up the car some, even waxed it, took about 6lbs of rubber out of the rear wheelwells also. Even cleaned and vacuumed the interior and spent a few minutes shining up the wheels. Should be good for another year

Still looks pretty decent for an eight year old car, hard to believe these LS1 cars are getting that old.. As you can tell I'm bored

Car ran 9.48 @ 144.2 last weekend with a 1.324 60' Andy, good enough for me. I'm not really interested in any internet records but its probably one of fastest Z06 cammed 347s around - maybe

3320 the last time I weighed it with 1/2 tank of fuel. I added tubes (+12lbs) in the rear tires and took off the wiper motor (-14lbs) and switched to a Kirkey seat (-8lbs) ran the car last week with a full tank (+ 30lbs) so its probably 3240 right now as it sits give or take..
