Default Picked up the Z06 in GA yesterday,home today and DYNOED!

Well I traded in the 2009 Cyber grey ZR1 on friday afternoon for a 2009 Cyber Grey Z06. I drove my ZR1 with a friend from the forum here C5Kid. From York, PA. 800 miles one way starting Thursday night at 6:45pm. Stopped in Virgina Comfort Inn for a cat knap for 3.5-4hrshours and back out to driving. Got to Georgia around 11am took 1.5hours to find the only self hand wash carwash in Atlanta I beleive. Traded the car in and started back. Drove back to upper VA. and stayed for the night. 4hours and back out on the way home. On the way home stopped in Gettysburg, Pa. at Keiths Pittstop dynojet and base lined the car. The air was very cool and dry, perfect for dynoing. The car baselined at 461rwhp 427rwtq on the dyno I used for my Atomic orange C6Z06. As always the 3rd pull was the best pull. All in all had a fun time for the drive down and back. Got some great pics as many got to see on Facebook as I posted them. Now the car is back all stock its time to figure out exactly what mods the car will get and future plans/ET goals. So I'm back ladies and gentleman. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!

When I opened my garage.









Race we had on the way home. That Stanger was built for speed!!!

Hopefully I can get it to the track within the week, 2 tops for some more baseline #'s before any mods.

Very nice car, I even like the color. Are you considering a supercharger?
