Default New Addition to the Stable

I picked up an '08 Z06 yesterday. Extremely nice one owner with 11335 on the clock. Has the 2LZ package with navigation, two-tone red and black interior. Make a nice addition to the '75 Vert and '99 FRC. This thing is wicked fast!!!

Ummm...I don't have that problem! I retired for good last March. Spent 20 years in the Army and retired in 1995 and then 17 years for the Postal Service. Fortunate enough to retire at 55 and enjoy life!!!

Love the Z06! I like the 427 bags on the hood....was just looking at a yellow one last week. Very tempting but with a wife and 3 kids that ain't happening! Congrats on retirement.....I still have quite a few years to go even though I'm 50.

Congratulations on your Z06 It looks like a beauty . I bought a Victory Red 06 Z06 with 2,500 miles on it a couple of years ago. These cars are absolute animals. My old big block is fast but these cars are ferocious. That torque curve between 4,000 and 7,000 RPM's is ridiculous. They still manage 27 mpg on the highway. Great cars
