So myfinancin g is done, car is insured in my name, and the rental is sitting in the driveway. Im heading out tonight to head down to New Orleans to pick up my new car. It is a 2001 Corvette Z06. Here are a couple of pics and an idle clip. Mods include LG stainless LT's, o/r x pipe, B&B catback, tune, F14cam, vram intake, short throw and new ram clutch. im stoked. car dynoed at 434/417. I am still keepin my 95 cobra, it will start in the body shop this week coming up! SN95's for life, but a vette wouldn't hurt:)

Remove the side body moldings and you've got a really, really nice vehicle. Nice choice!

That video is hilarious too. I kept waiting for a big rev from the vehicle and that baby getting scared shitless but it never came :(

nice i want a vet someday. I almost sold the cobra for a real nice black 01 zo6. But having a car paid off looks a little better on a home loan right now and i getting ready to by my second home. So i bought a s-trim to make the car a little more fun in the mean time:beer:

Just couldn't bring yourself to buy a Chevy? Hope it wasn't too bad of a something.

2001 Z06 Red with black leather, chrome wheels.42xxx miles

Good: LG Stainless LT's, o/r X, B&B Catback
VRAM Air Intake
F14 Cam
New Ram Clutch
Tune
short throw
msd wire
dyno'ed 434/417 and went 11.7@ 121 in 80 degree weather with a 1.8 60

bad:
pass window wouldn't roll down (already knew before the drive)
had been repainted (looked great in pics) a few runs, few chips, just not what i was looking for
one of the wheels was missing the corvette insignia from center cap, not a big deal, but kinda questioned why it wasn't there.
headliner on driver side was down a bit, all i had to do was tuck it back into the weather stripping, but still...
gas door wouldn't pop open (i would have never got home on one tank....lol
all 4 tires needed replaced.


I was down there with 25K for the car, but wouldn't pay it with all the little things. i told him i could do 23, but he wouldn't budge so i went on my way.


great car, would love to have had it, but just not for the money. so im still on the hunt...
