Default dream come true, new owner

after dreaming of owning one of these things since they first came out, I was finally able to purchase one this past wknd.... it's a '06 DSOM Z with only 19k miles now that I've driven it all the way home....i bought it from a forum member also.

it's bone stock, but man these cars are animals.... I've known what they are capable of but u have to feel it to really appreciate the power it has

I try explaining that usually no avail, until they see for themselves.

Beautiful.
Like my JSB, AO's somewhat rare, a $2K+ option.
Being from a forum member means car was properly loved & maintained, also. Nice find.

*At the least have heads thoroughly checked to make certain guides/valves aren't out of spec. (do a search)
Suck a LS7 valve = new LS7. No kidding.
Not cheap and well worth being proactive w/ this.

Congrats. Welcome to the neighborhood. I would schedule an appointment with CPR asap to have the valve checked and car gone over.

If you want to meet up and grab a beer or something let me know. I may start yanking my car apart this week to do another round of upgrades.
