Default My Garage Queen Find Turns Track Rat

Back in September I came across a MINT Victory Red 2007 2LZ Z06 with less than 1700 miles on her, bone stock and unmolested.(at a great price to match)
Some would say I'm nuts to take such a queen and do what I am doing to it this winter..... maybe so but I've done crazy things before and this more than likley will not be the last

My plans are to run this in NASA TT..... Just checking with forum members for input, opinions or to see if I've forgotten anything
Mod list as follows......

UNDER THE HOOD
LG HEADERS, B&B EXHAUST, SNAKE CHARMER INTAKE, 160 DEG. STAT, SHORT THROW SHIFTER, TUNE, ALL BY DRM, ARE DRY SUMP WITH S/S LINES, ROCKER ARMS BY HARLAND SHARP
SUSPENSION/WHEELS
PFADT COMPETITION SWAY BARS, PILLOW BLOCKS, ADJ.SHOCKS, CAMBER KIT, POLY/ALUM BUSHING KIT, HYPERCO TRACK LEAF SPRINGS, S/S BRAKE LINES & CALIPER PIN BOLTS FOR OEM CALIPERS, FORGLINES W/A6's, CCW's W/R6's BOTH 18X11/18X13

I'm curious as to why you are going with the 160 T-stat?

Otherwise, it sounds like a good plan.

If class rules let you get a cage, then cage it...hopefully you never need it.

Must be nice to have a track dedicated and street Z06.

Mine is a garage queen (lots of wax, no track turd marks), daily driver and track car all in one ............ I love driving it every single day!! ..... 65K miles, 2008 2LZ
