Finally found a Z06
I have been wanting a Z06 ever since I purchase my first vette (2006 C6) in 2009. After trading that vette for a 69 Camaro last summer I decided I needed to get back into something newer again and sold the 69 a few months ago and have been on the hunt for a Z06 or GT500 since.
Picked up this 2008 Z06 over the weekend, wow this thing feels a lot faster than then my C6 was. As of now the only plans for it are a set of LG header and mild to wild switch.

I think you made the right choice. I was also comparing GT500's and Z06's. There isn't much of a comparison.

Congratulations. You may want to slap some Michelins on it if it has the old runflats. The non RF Super Sports are great and sticky. I have them for the track and the PS2s for the street.

Thanks, black wasn't my first choice, but the price was right. My only stipulations was no red or yellow.
It already has a brand new set of goodyears on the back, I haven't looked at them real close, but I'm assuming they are the same as the factory runflats. Somewhere down the line I will end up replacing them with a stickier tire.

Nice car, and you're gonna love it. I too, am a bit confused why you would ever cross shop a ZO6 and a GT500. The Mustangs are certainly good on power, but not much chassis, and way to much cub weight. You did the right thing.

My first sports car was a mustang and I still have a 2000 GT with a built 4v, cage etc. So I will always have a soft sport for a mustang. I wish I could afford a Z06 and GT500, but until I get to that point in life I think I can survive being 27 with a Z06 in the garage.
Here is the other toy, that still needs some completion work.

Nothing at all wrong with Mustangs, as I like them too. No ZO6 Vette though, nor priced or designed to be one. Also, like your 4 post lift, and see you're one of the smarter ones, that mounted the hydraulic pump unit to the inside post.
