Default What's wrong with this picture

Claims to be a 2007 Z06 FS for a decent price until my eyes fell upon this.

Gs wheels, base brakes....

Is it common to swap to smaller rear brakes for a drag wheel setup?

Hey, they have the same rear clip, so what the heck, following it on the highway, you THINK you are following a Z..

That annoys the heck out of me for some reason BTW.. I know we are "all brothers", but when I get beside one and see the shark-fins on the front fender, all I can think is "poser!".

No "shark-fins" showing on the ad. Everything else LOOKS Z06 to me. My first thought was a wreak that was rebuilt with base parts. If the brakes were swapped out so drag wheels would fit, I want it less
Ohhh Nooo, it hasn't been beat on.............much

We're only selling it because the little ole lady that was driving it to church every Sunday isn't strong enough to step on the clutch anymore and she's having trouble getting in and out of the car. "I've fallen and I can't get up"

Just one of the reasons I hate the GS or any of the other copy wannabes.

I'd trade you my Z06 brakes for the smaller ones so I can run a 15in rim since I drag race my Z06. If I'm on a road course it's on a shifter kart or an Ariel Atom, not my vette, especially at Rd Atlanta with mid 700whp and stock aero. Coming down the hill after 10a-10b blind following markers on the bridge can be sketchy

Bring a magnet see if it stick to the frame. Z06 has aluminum frame.
