Default Any "Virgin" Zs out there?

With all the talk on the Forum about headers, heads, cams, SC, etc., I was wondering if I was the only "virgin" Z out there? Mine is just as Uncle GM made it and it will stay that way until the warrantee runs out.

I think you'll find that most are "virgin" and then it requires clarification on your definition of "virgin"......I consider mine stock but I have changed out the brake pads for dustless ones, added the rear-side front fender flares and ZR1 air filter. The drivetrain is mechanically all virgin though!

Mine was until I did the heads. After that it made sense to put a cam in. I think most guys do what I did which is why you see so much talk of it.

I was in contact with my engine builder not long ago and he said that according to my records the engine he built is still "cherry" . Does that count?

100% stock here! 2013, took delivery on 7/1/12, 1180 miles. Plan to leave it 100% stock also but will consider the heads after the warranty runs out roughly on 7/1/17.

Was a virgin til 2 months ago... Popped that cherry and getting the car back today. It's nice to have a virgin once in awhile, but dirty Z's are where it's at.

Default Virgin Z

2008 Z here. Bought new. Out of warranty now.
All original. 11095 miles. Original tires are almost down to the wear bars and are hard, slippery & noisy. As always, ALL Corvettes are RED.

My Victory Red 06 Z is all stock except for a B&B Bullet exhaust. Bought it with 2,500 miles on it almost 4 years ago. 19,600 trouble free miles on it now. It's plenty fast in stock form for a street car IMO
