not sure why but I bought a z06... pics/vids

I guess I already had an 03 cobra and viper GTS so I just figured Id try out a Z06 for a while. I got a good deal on this one so I gave it a whirl. I already put exhaust on it (the day I bought it) and here are my first round of pics and vids.
pretty nice car with heads up display, cruise control, dual climate control, etc and its been getting 28mph under NORMAL driving... pretty sweet
Im just going to do intake and 150 shot for now as well as tint the windows and lower it... that should do me for a bit:banana:









and finally the videos!
first-fourth.... my buddy has CP who is filming and he did a great job. I was just going through the gears, not powershifting or anything.... yet

I will post a vid after I get more comfy with the car with me powershifting, like my sti video

Then I let him drive, yes I let someone with CP drive my 2 day old z06, and he did great. He is a huge car guy and a good guy.
I filmed a start up and drive off, a 1-2 pull, a 2nd gear hit and let off and then a fly by.... all with him driving

I'd lower it for sure. You can lower it on the stock blocks and just not drop it alot. You can put it back up easily too.
