The tradition continues... Here's the newest addition to the family!
My father and I picked up his new ride this weekend and boy what a beast it is. He joined the ranks of the C6 world with his 38th Corvette. 
He tasked Corvette Mike New England with finding him a low mile C6 Z06 and they produced in astounding fashion! They found him a 2006 Z06 with 11k miles on it, 2LZ with NAV and Polished wheels fresh out of the box with new rubber to match.
He traded this:
For this:
So it was 50 degrees today and while the lighting was terrible and the roads were way to crappy to take them to a different spot to shoot, I was still able to get a few decent shots of the family together!

Nice C6Z! I'm sure it's a blast to drive.

I can't imagine what those cars with H/C/I or SC and Turbos feel like because 55-130 happens in NO TIME. WOT doesn't last long that's for sure And as far as looks, I had it out by itself and just loved the widened aggressive look that it offers but once I pulled my car out......
While the performance is undeniable... I am gonna agree on the looks!
It will look even better when I max her out on stock bolts with the bushings trimmed a bit once the weather breaks! I originally said I wouldn't do it but

I have a hard time wondering why someone would trade the sleek classic looks of a C5 for the heavy looking , overdone C6 .
