I'm in Alamogordo..would like to keep in touch about the group. We could have some great rides up around Cloudcroft and Ruidoso as well. I have a Y2k C5 Navy Blue Metallic vert, 6 speed, pretty much stock at this point but saving some pennies for some moderate mods.

Nice C7! The automatics are actually getting faster times than the 7 speeds, crazy.

Mine is on hibernation for the time being. Put it out on CL for a little bit to see if anybody wanted to buy it, but there are great deals out there on C5 Z06s. Not sure if I'm keeping it or upgrading to something newer, we'll see.

Hey all, I picked this one up on the 8th at the museum. That is my son in the pic, we drove her home and did the 1,500 miles in two and a half days. Pulled in the driveway Sunday afternoon.
The car is great, and surprisingly it was comfortable even on such a long trip. Kinda weird having so many people taking pictures and giving the thumbs up on the road. Just about have her all cleaned up from the trip, look forward to the first meet and greet.

Love the color.

Just now saw this post. I had sent you a pm, asking how you liked it, but now I see you are happy with it. Your car looks great.

I was at Viva yesterday, and saw a vette that looked just like yours over there, that had been towed. Saw it had Florida license plates, so knew it wasn't yours.

Who got the red C7 I saw on Montana today? Was that the one sitting at the dealership?

So who started saving pennies for the new Z06?

Maybe in a decade or so for me, haha.

Took it to ASR a couple of weeks ago. Finally got into the 1:19s, ran second fastest of the day with over 50 cars there.

Seen a few C7's as well as C7 convertibles around ELP.

Saw a ZR1 this morning as well.

Anyone know of a good remote start installer in ELP?

Time to bring this back from the dead. The Z06 is gone and in it's place now sits a 2015 Stingray Z51. There will be a track day on Arroyo Seco on the 22nd if you want a ride-along.

Sweet!

I remember you saying you were thinking of selling the Z06.

My Z is paid off, I don't need another car note. But if I decide to get rid of it, it will be for a C6 Z06.

Which reminds me that I need to do the rear bearings soon, probably knock them out Thanksgiving weekend.

I'm going to miss the Z06, but the new one more than makes up for it despite being a "base" Corvette.
