Default Finally found my Z06

I found it on this site ( David) , 08 Z06 Victory red with only 755 miles on it .He had kept the car mint.
I flew out to Mississippi early early Firday morning and spent a enjoyable drive friday and Saturday back to Florida.What a great road trip in a awesome car.

Here's a few pics.



Got a nice hotel with a room facing the car





Over 1200 miles and an average gas mileage with a couple of 0-150 runs entering the highway
Most of this time was 70-80mph. Who says a 7.0L isn't good on gas.



I have a million pics but didn't want to bore you.

Congrats on a beautiful car. At 755 miles, it IS brand new. Out of curiosity, why did the previous owner drive it so little? Out here in the west that's just one good trip out of town. For whatever reason, I hope you take it out and enjoy all 505 of those horses.

Thanks guys, I have been reading on this forum for a while and did my homework but still spent a couple of minutes looking for the gas door for the first fill up...lol

I coudn't fault the car driving it home, I really enjoyed the trip and wish I could find a reason to do it again. I will update this thread as I do a few minors mods to it.

Congrats on a great car. Nothing like finding a nearly brand new car without having to take the depreciation hit. Enjoy it
