Default New to the Z06 and Corvette world!

Hey everyone just bought my first Z06 ever. Actually its my first transition into the muscle car world. I have been in BMW's since I can remember. But I am loving the change this car is amazing. Here are some pics of when I got her a few weeks ago from a forum member who lives in San Diego. Also pics from a quick drive from New Years day with my buddy and his GT3. So far it has a mild to wild switch, Halltech intake, and lowered on stock bolts. I have some plans for it but for now only plan is to learn and drive the heck out of it! Hope to meet some of you guys soon. Thanks

-Sel

I kept my 95 M3 and still love to drive it but my new 06Z is in a completely different league in terms of power and acceleration!

Love the 95 M3 me and my brother used to own 1999 M3. We currently still own a 91 318is slick top thats been converted to a track car with a 1998 S52 swapped engine. That will be ready for this years track season along with both of our Z06's! Cant wait!

Congrats nice car. The car really is in a different league. After you get used to your z hoping into an e92 m3 is going to be very boring

Looks just like mine. An '08?
Congrats, these cars are simply a joy to drive.
Get to "know" the LS-7, though.
It can get away real easy.
