All Corvettes are special, but it took the Z06 to actually make me jump in and buy one. Enjoy the ride

Hey X,

Long time no see. What have you been up to? I have stopped by HPD's site and it does not seem like much activity is going on. I have not lost the grin yet in 8 months time. Take care, Don

Nice,dude! I sold my 98 coupe with an A4 and wimpy 2.73 rear end 2 months ago for an 01 Z06. Looking back, I thought the 98 was pretty quick, now I laugh. There are speeds when I stepped on the gas that the A4 felt lagging. The A4 with the 2.73's is almost like driving a 6 speed vette using only 1st,3rd,5th,and 6th gear.

Default Got mine 1 week ago too 03' Z06

I got mine one week ago also.....at least you went Vette to Vette....I went F250 Ford Diesel to Z06.......My smile would be even bigger if it would stop snowing here in Kansas City.....Moving to Atlanta this summer so I'll remedy that weather problem.
