Both cars are impressive man... congrats!

 

+1 x 5,000,000

Congrats on buying the same car my secretary drives....

 

LOL........I likem' both. I think I could have more fun with the Z06......and you know it won't stay stock for long. I may buy the luxury GT a little later on. I'd like to do some more track time and the Corvette guys seem to have a nice community around them. I really enjoyed VIR, and this may be the only way to catch Brian on the straights. We'll see.......and if I don't like it, I'll buy something else

 

I still have luv for the bimmers.......hell, my girlfriend drives one

 

Ok now I hate you... machine silver w/ comp gray wheels... awesome.

You still won't catch me if you're not in the same run group

Hoosiers > LS7 for now

 

Oh and start doing some research... watch the roof very very closely. Chevy is having a growin problem w/ the roof skins un-adhering from the structural grid below, some sort of adhesive malfunction.

Read up on it on the corvetteforum and keep and eye on the roof panel for movement, seperation at the seams, and/or cracking or popping noises.

Also, the oil change procedure on the LS7 is very very specific... you do not want the oil over the mid-full mark on the dry sump dipstick or they can/will barf up oil into the intake during track use.

If you keep the dry sump at the proper level (not max full line) then this is not an issue.

I know too much about the damn car for not owning one.

 

^^^ Sounds like too much headache. Should have bought the V-10 and called it a day.

 

^ Bah 500+ rwhp w/ LT headers, air filter, and a tune is awesome.

Add a Cam and your over 550 =)

 

I've been lurking on the Z06 forums for quite awhile now Brian. I heard about the roof panels and will def' check this one out. This car was delivered in late April so I'm not sure if it falls under this issue or not. I've been checking out all the mods.....long tubes, etc. Any good stuff for the car.....let me know. I have 40K I can throw into mods.........should be fun.

 

Gratz on purchasing the best bang for your buck on the planet.

Buy a second set of wheels and some good track tires ASAP. You don't want to use those runflats at VIR hehe.

Oh, That color combo is very proper on that car.
