I picked up this 28k mile 08 z51 Vette for a song.. It's already got intake, ARH longtubes, NPP Exhaust, and a tune. Oddly enough I have the same amount of headroom in the Vette as I do in the Goat. :D

Damn Mikey! That bitch is sexy as hell! Does it have enough room for a full figured guy like yourself? Seems like I didn't have a whole lot of room when I've driven corvettes.

Nice pick up my friend :bigthumb:

Thanks Bud! It's got tons of headroom, I could even wear a helmet if I wanted. The biggest issue is torso room for me. I've got a wide chest and shoulders..so I am spilling a bit over the shoulder rests. I'll have to adjust to the interior so I know where everything is, but honestly I'm super comfortable. I could drive to BRG in this car from Tejas just like I did the goat, allbeit less comfortably at first.

Interesting that the door cards are not symmetrical. My OCD has issue with this.

You press that and the door pops open from the inside...there are no handles. That little square at the top has pressure points for your fingers, that's how you open the door from the outside.

ahhh OK, after I posted I noticed there wasn't a handle to open the door so I sort of figured that. Pretty cool, I’m jealous, I want one! I liked the goat but I think you upgraded a good bit here.

Nice pickup! Welcome to the club of being anal about your paint. If you look at your car the wrong way, it will scratch.

i approve. WAY better than the goat. and the ls3 is great. slap some black chrome on the wheels, and it'll be perfect.

So much nicer than the GOAT. The GOAT was a fast car, but would never be pretty IMO. Awesome car!!!

Small world, I saw that car about a week ago when I was up there for a ride in a GT2. The owner changes cars faster than most people change their socks. Was actually kinda surprised that he didn't end up making the Vette his new track car vs that green 348. Ugh.

I take delivery Saturday. They put 4 new tires on (just arrived yesterday) and detailed it. I just haven't brought it home because they are doing maintenance on my garage (re-keying and changing the frequency).

Al is known to flip cars fast. He had that white procharged c6 base a few months ago, it had 900rwhp iirc. He owns that lime green UGR GT-R.

Oh and that GT2 is hottt!

they should come down some in price by then...especially used ones. i'm sure they're much better built than vettes...even though the vette is probably friendlier to mod.

You can give me the Vette when you tire of it.
