Upgrade?

All of your input is greatly appreciated. Just ate dinner and looks like a decision with the Z has been made. We're going car shopping for the wife this weekend.

All of your input is greatly appreciated. Just ate dinner and looks like a decision with the Z has been made. We're going car shopping for the wife this weekend. Trading in both hers and mine We will get a 3 year contract for the vehicle no more. We'll save money and see where I'll be at on this in say a year or so.

So if someone wants my wheels and exhaust let me know. Local preferred since I'll need the buyers stocks.

If you're OK with a stock vehicle, new Z06 all the way. I wouldn't mod it and throw away the warranty for the first year of a new car, though. Maybe once the first model year quirks get worked out.

Man it's starting to sink in that I'm giving up the Z. When I first got the car I was so excited for the future. Wheels, boost well we all know how the boost thing ended....

Well even better financial news. My 18 yr old nephew loves my Z so much he offered to buy it from me. Well get it out of my name and he takes over payments.

So if that goes down were keeping the ride that my wife has now. No sense in trading it in.

Well the Z is officially gone...

Got the wife a brand new Toyota 4 runner with all the bells and whistles.

I'm not gonna wait like I previously thought. I'm actually going to Arkansas next Thursday to pick up the WS6 in the video I posted earlier.

Yeah the model but it has a built LS1 with LS3 heads bored with a D1 pro charger on 17 psi. With a methanol kit 4.11 gears race suspension. My project for the year is to get the roll cage put in upgrade the heads and intake and grab a 20 psi pulley. Should be at around 750.

Also just bought some Bogarts and 30' slicks!!!!

No offense but that's a far cry from any of those cars listed. Modded or not...I'm not sure how you ended up with that.

To each his own, enjoy!
