I just liked how the Z06 name stuck with a hard top car.
Don't forget about the sissy automatic tranny they will offer for the Z06 too.

I'm fairly new to Texas and recently purchased my first Vette, coming over from Camaro's and still have a ZL1. I love the C7 but, I also love the supercharger on the ZL1. I decided to go with ECS and 1 7/8 ARH long tubes. I had Stephen at East Texas Muscle Cars do the install for me. Although mine was one of the cars with venting issues and a seal leak, Stephen and many other shops including ECS worked countless hours to solve this issue. I can't say enough about the professionalism and great customer service that ETMC delivered!! I picked up my newly blown C7 Sunday morning and promptly jumped on the highway for 120 mile ride home. I wanted more power and was hoping the car would be loud and holy crap, this kit and headers delivered. This thing makes some racket now and even had my wife smiling as she was following me in the ZL1. I know most will want to know numbers and Stephen will be posting a video and numbers for me. He left it on the conservative side for now and after a few months of driving, I will have him dial it in some more.

I'm very blessed to have a cool wife that likes horsepower! I have watched this thread for awhile and sounds like you have a great group of people with some sweet rides. I look forward to getting out there.

Were a pretty casual group of guys.
Ranging from stock to over 1000HP, and everything in between.
Sounds like you will fit right in.
Were not just a bunch of guys either... Wifes, and GF's are always welcome as well.
My 9 yr old son has been to the GTG's as well on occasion.

I look forward to seeing both the ZL and the C7 soon! Sounds like a blast to drive!

I can't go wrong with either and my wife loves the hand me downs!! She started with a Camaro SS, now the ZL1 and in due time the C7 when I upgrade to a Z06.
