Default The Good News and The Bad News......

THE GOOD NEWS: Our order for the Z06 got changed to a 2009 model year instead.

THE BAD NEWS: We have to wait until late July-early August to get it.

I hear the dry sump system and trans are upgraded, so hopefully it is worth the wait.

Anybody got a spare Corvette laying around so we don't go through withdrawls?

Bryan might have one.

Bummer dude, that sucks.

I'd loan you mine, but I don't want it going through withdrawls when you give it back...

It would probably hate you for letting me beat on it.

it would most likely need tires, brakes, an oil change and possibly a trans after I was done with it.

I told Bryan that I can show him the way my car was meant to be driven and the Richie Rich school of driving IS included in the price of the car.

I didn't like the fact that the oil pressure was dropping down to 18 psi at 6k. Had to have it gone thru before it's seized on me.
