Default new z06 owner

hey guys

I've been out of the LS world for a few years and just purchased an 07Z last month. I was originally going to cam the vehicle, but I think I may just leave it stock because it is plenty fast already as my DD.

The only mods are 19/20 ccw t10s I threw on when I got the car as you can see in the vehicle below. Sorry for the camera shake, but it was really cold that day. I'll probably take a better video when it gets a bit warmer.

You will get over that in a month or so. I thought the same thing when I bought my Z06 too.

I probably won't. I'd rather save my money for an old muscle car.

I DD my car for about a yr, and then decided to take a plunge... A stock Z just doesn't sound loud enough IMO...

So? I have a 610" lift cam in mine and drove it to work in Freeport from Pasadena and got low 20's for gas milage (see my sig). You don't buy a Z06 for gas milage - or at least I would not think so.
