Got a new 08 Z06!!
Previously, I got into a hummer h2. The truck is amazing and I had a fun time wheelin it, though down here in miami there are very few spots to get any kind of real trail riding.
Anyways, the only true drawback was that i drive more an est. 375miles a week. With the H2's average mpg of 12, well the way i drive; it got pretty expensive. Thus, when my pops went to the local chevy dealer to trade in his STS for an 08 ls3 c6, I couldn't stop staring at this beauty sitting in the floor room:
I really don't like red but on the z06, it just works!!!
So, that got me talking to our long time friend which is the general manager at the dealership. Within in a few days, we agreed to a deal that worked for me and my leased H2, and on friday, I drove home with a beautiful silver 08 z06!!!! Im hooked!! I was never this into vette's as I am now. I have a 98 camaro conv. with a 410ci, s85 single through a 4l80e.
Anyways, i cannot believe how awesome this car handles, drives, well; just about does everything better than anything i had driven, even my old 05 cts-v.
Anyways, here are some pics from the weekend:
I'm not sure exactly what options i got with the car since i was a bit excited that i forgot to ask for the window sticker, but the VIN will shed some light on that.
Well, i understand that the 08 was possibly a different trans., are there any other differences with the 08's that i know?
The car is great and i'm about a 100 miles away from letting it rip.
LaterZ!

Congrats. That is awesome. Man, I can't believe people talking about '08 Z's. Makes me feel like my '06 is old. Anyway, enjoy and be safe

Congrats on the new ride!!!!
Mines being built this week, I have thoughts at times, do I need a car like this or do I want a car like this. Have a paid for C6 and now I am going to borrow money, regret thoughts at times. Anyone else????????

Congrats on the impulse buy!!
Nice "light flares" in the pics too. KaChow!
shooter, no you don't "need" a car like this; but, once you drive it you won't know how you could ever live without it!

lol... funny stuff guys.
Let's see... yes, the red z06 is at pembroke pines maroone... absolutely beautiful car!! My attention was on that car than on anything else.
The pics are off my iphone so excuse the pic quality, i'll get some better pics soon.
Yeah, obsidian with a 'S' is volcanic glass or black glass. Awesome material like you mentioned. I picked it because it just sounds so exclusive and since most of my cars are/were black, it fit. But, i had to add the Z since, well, now I own a Z06!
Oh, those two 'chicks' in the back so happen to be my mom and my sister... didn't really care if they came out clear or not!
Also, the stupid GM emblem is still there but they won't be there for long. One thing I noticed is that this ride gets SO much attention. With the H2, the attention was alot but with so many of them down here, it's nothing new... however, the z06 gettings TONS of looks! I'm more low-key but in hindsight, I think i got the wrong ride?!
Anyways, thanks ya'll!!! It does have NAV, a carbon fiber dash piece, and the shift feels more sleek than the 06 c6 i drove some time ago. Car is getting a new powersteering pump since the old was leaking pretty bad, but it's getting fixed.
