Default I'm Back!!!

As many of you know from my previous posts, my 02 Blown Coupe was destroyed in an accident last month. Well, here's her replacement.

An 01 ZO6, Speedway White with Mod Red Interior. 37,000 with 3,000 on a fully forged, ported heads and cam motor with a D1SC. All built and tuned by Horsepower Sales of Pompano. 583 rwhp

Needless to say, I'm very happy with it. Needs a few things in the interior to be done. Previous owner pretty much gutted the interior to turn it into a track car. I have to buy all the plastic parts around the windows, new carpet and little odds and ends here and there, but not too bad. The driver seat needs a new motor and the passenger seat just needs the plastic that goes on the bottom half of the seat.

I'd say it needs about 2 grand worth of interior parts to get it back to normal. He also died the red parts in the car black so I have that to look forward to as well.

Thanks, I like the SW Z's as well. I actually didn't think I would at first but when I saw in person I totally changed my mind.

This will most likely be my last Vett. At least for a while. I just found out that my wife is two weeks pregnant. She said that I'll have to grow up eventually now and get a family car. I said thats what her Honda Pilots' for.
