Default Photoshoot in my new DSOM Z06

Hey guys just figured i'd post up so shots we got in the mountains with my 3 month old Z and give a lil break down on the mods. first its a rare 06 daytona sunset orange metalic car that came with:
-kooks headers
-KN intake
-slightly lowered.

i have added:
-new tune (Black Ops Motorsports 495rwhp 476rwtq)
-DMH cutouts
-comp grey 09 GM z06 spiders with NT05Rs
-RPI carbon fiber ZR1 sideskirts
-MGW shifter
-HAWK HPS pads (great choice)
- AND ONE RECKLESS DRIVING TICKET







And this is what it looked like the first hour i owned it

Very nice!! Just an fyi but make sure the cut outs don't blow on the rear spring. See post 6 below.

Good call!

Also, how did you manage a reckless driving ticket? What happened?

Pulling out onto the highway I got on it in second to get up to speed and the top of second is in the mid 80s. The trooper came over the hill right as I let off ....poof 87 in a 60.

Yeah I don't think many will have that problem if installed properly. If you look at that guys install he has them ending right in front of the spring and pointed right at them

I love DSOM. I was going between that and LMB. I ended up with LMB only because it had 20,000 less miles. Beautiful car

They hardly ever give jail time , but your right they could. My friend got a 90 in a 55 and did two nights and some community service,but that was because he was over 90 . Over 90 in va is manditory jail time . Accually in va all traffic violations stay on your record for 11 years in va even just speeding.
