Default What would you do if.......

Ok my dad has been throwing around the idea of getting a ZR-1. He currently has an '06 Z06 and he loves the fact that it has a 427. His dilemma has been giving up a 427 for the blown 6.2. I know for me it would be a no-brainer, trade in the Z06 on the ZR-1 right? Well here is what he did instead...

I hear ya there, but unfortunately he does not mod anything. The extent of his modifications is hardwiring in a V1 radar detector.

Yeah that would be nice, but unfortunately I have moved to NC and he is in FL. It just figures that while i lived in fl i bugged him and bugged him to get one, then I move away and he gets one.

You guys have seen as much of the car as I have. He lives in fl and I moved to nc. I have only seen the two pictures of the new one. Suffice it to say I will be roadtripping back home to see him and teach him how to drive it.
