Nice. I love the Z06's with that color.

Oh and I'm OCD about improper white balance so I did something about it.

There a wheel and tires set from TOMZwheels. There wider than what was on there, 275 would just be extra weight.


Thanks for all the comments!

And yes, i'm working on lowering it, already have a prokit, saving for Bilstein struts and my Sunoco hood. SS wing is already on its way.
