Ever since my cam install I swear I could pull up a lawn chair behind my z, fire it up, sit behind it and drink a 12 pack of beer while I kick back and admire the sound. I haven't had my stereo on since I got it back. Fing awesome......just sayin.

I own a ZR1, but LOVE my ZO6.

Just took her out for a cruise with 4 other Corvettes on Sunday morning through the Hill Country. Picked up waves from a Porsche 911 and a Maserati!

I have owned mine since 2008 and it is still one of my favorite cars. Love the Z06!

Glad to have you on board brother, now get your heads done and throw a cam and headers at it too!
Heads = SS/Bronze guides Done
Cam = Katech 110 Torquer Done
Headers = LG Done

I went in only to do heads/wheels/intake and a guy was at the same shop turning his car back to stock and the price he was asking for his headers/cams was beyond too good to be true or pass up!!! Beyond lucky that i just happen to be there..

Look..........I had not had a Corvette on the road since I removed my 68 to make an A-production race car. $$ ended that move in about 5 years. So, after waiting 40 plus years I got my 2013 Z06 with the Z07 performance package. It is a bad *** car ! It handles better than my A-production race car, and the motor (stock) feels just as strong as the old OCH 454. Now, I could be bias, but this baby is a bad *** car. I can scare myself pretty easily. (yah, I know I'm getting older). But, I love this car. It's hard to leave it in the garage.

It's like you're doing God's work on the road and being a Patriot of the sports car world.

I'm gonna go get sideways now.


Support our troops, past and present... Happy Memorial Day.


I've just spent the last three months away from my LS7 and I CAN'T WAIT to get back and punish my back tires... hell it's a ZO6... I'll punish all 4 of them.

Now that we have seen the modest power increases from the new base C7, time to go back and hug my Z once again. Of course they are hawking "similar torque to Z06 to 4600 rpm" which is really there to support operation in lower speed 4 cylinder mode and will feel good cruising around town. On a track (whether 1/4 mile or road course) the low cut-off will be of minimal help...

Just picked up a bone stock (well, mild to wild installed) 2007 2LZ Victory Red Z with 13,200 miles. Totally bad a$$ car out of the box. Just trying not to break it this summer before I do the heads and some other go-fast goods this winter!
