Adding a Z06 to the stable
Well, I'm going over to the dark side I think. I struck a deal to purchase an '02 Z06 (50K miles) and I'm picking it up tomorrow. I'm looking forward to doing a little modding with the LS6 and seeing what kind of 1/4 mile times I can wring out of it. Look out Ranger!
I'm also looking forward to doing some roadcourse events with it.
I'm holding on to the '96 for the time being. I may ultimately sell it after I truly decide which car I like better...or maybe I'll just keep it
Just don't tell the wife.
Here's a couple of weak cell phone picks of the car and it needs to be washed in the pics. It has been sitting in a garage and not driven since last November. I'll post up a few more pics after it is cleaned up.

If your going to move up from a c4 might as well make it worth it and get a ZO6!

Nice looking - and hope you can keep the C4 also - nothing wrong with multiple Vettes in the man cave

Thanks, guys! I feel a little guilty like I'm abandoning my C4, which has been such a good car. Oh well, time to move on. Maybe a nice forum member is looking for a 10 second, award winning LT4 car
You're reading my mind, Rich. Too soon to tell! I'm thinking long tubes, air intake, tune, drag radials, and a bottle = 10.5 @ 130 on the Z06. We'll see.
