I'm for sure going to try to get the whole extreme kit sooner than later.
Do you ever have any kind of sale price on it?

Funny, in another thread you laugh at Z06 owners for "wasting their money" on purchasing a Z06 but have no problem selling your products here in the Z06 section of the forum??? Maybe you think Z06 owners are soo stupid they'll buy your products after those comments......
Folks should check out the vendors feelings about the Z06 before giving him business. Those were his words.
The question has been asked a gazillion times, but I would have to disagree with you. I have had both, and the Z06 is not really worth the extra money. Once you figure out GM's marketing game, the rest is really a mute point.
However, to humor the poster, here's the reality of the situation. Z06 owners, as well as ZR1 owners feel the need to justify the money they have spent on the "superior" cars offered by GM (aka: "the real thing" lol). Yes, they are superior, from the factory, but NO, they are not worth the $330 (roughly) PER HP that they charge. >> Yeah, that's right... that wasn't a typo. Break out a calculator, and figure it out.
Add some additional power to the Z06, and your going to have tons of problems. Forced Induction? Forget it... you'll have to completely rebuild your motor to handle the boost. Neither the Z06 or the ZR1 are good for making HUGE HP. I'm talking about 800-1000+ HP drag cars, etc. Not saying this is what you want, but should you ever want to do this, the steel frame is a better option, for welding, etc.
The weight reduction of the Z06 compared to a C6 is irrelevant unless your serious about tracking your car, or, (if) your adding more HP to your C6...
You can go around in circles, but I can tell you the first time a C6 with a TT or SC setup wastes you on the HWY... your going to regret the extra $20k you just blew on the Z...
My advice (based on having both a 2008 Z06, and a 2010 C6) would be to get a 2008+ LS3 C6, for $28k-ish, and put $10k into the car, and you'll be very happy you listened to me. Dont worry about miles, drive it. Use it. Enjoy it.

We sell Wheels, Tires, Brakes, Suspension, Body Kits, etc... for many generations of Corvettes...
Your taking a completely different topic and twisting it out of context.
The conversation you are referring to was an poster asking "what would it take to get a C6 to perform/outperform a Z06"...
I was simply stating my opinion, being an owner of both models.
So... what was your point again? Wait... never mind... just go away, and stay out. Your point is irrelevant.
PS - Did you get beat by a worked C6 today?

To each their own...reminds me of "that Corvette guy", wearing a bunch of gaudy gold jewelry, and the greased back hair with a sleazy mustache.
All looks good except... waaaaaay too overdone IMO with that gigantic wide stance.
But you know what they say about opinions...
Enjoy it if that's what you like, just not for me.
