Okay .. Just pulled my 2008 Z06 from storage.

Does anyone have a checklist of things they like to do before racing after
the car has been sitting for a while?

I figure I'll do the engine oil & brake fluid flush at a minimum.
Anything else I should consider?

If it's street legal I'd drive it as much as possible & romp on it (safely) see what shakes out.

You talkin a few months..... Or years? Just fire it up, bring the temps up, and go. Keep the rpms low until the oil has a chance to cook any moisture out,,but its just a machine.

The car has been sitting for five months and has roughly 30,000 miles on it.
Anything special I should bother with (trans fluid, that sort of thing) ??

No, 5 months is nothing. If the engine oil is much over 12 months old, I might replace; other wise nadda.

If it's due for an oil change, do it. Otherwise just flush the brakes, drive it as much as you can to shake it down, swap the track stuff on, and throw it in the trailer. have fun at Gingerman. I wish I could go too.

Thanks M@.
If everything works out I'll be arriving late Saturday afternoon and getting the car unloaded/ready to run on Sunday.

Maybe someone will pop in and give you a summery.
