Default Back in the saddle

Some of you know that i sold my Z06 back in January because I wanted to get some different and more affordable.

Well, after several months, the GTO just wasn't cutting it for me so I decided to get me another Z06 like I had. Good to be back home.

What year ZO6 did you have before and what year is that one?


I like those rims.

I bought my Z06 earlier this year after driving a modded F-body for some time. Absolutely love it, but I did test drive an 05 GTO a few months back and it just reminded me of my Firebird so I know how you felt. The GTO is nice but once you have a Z it's hard to be happy with anything less! Congrats on the new one.

i had the same exact year as before. The only difference is that my last one was a lot faster. Had a Cartek 2X H/C package on the last one. I think if i do anything to this one, i probably go with the Kenne Bell blower setup

That car is gorgeous!!

I had an LPE C4 before my Z06.....I Thought I was done with muscle cars after selling the C4 and bought an Audi S4. Two months after I bought the audi, I was like WTF am I doing in this? Time to dump it and get a Z06!!

Not trying to hijack a thread here but I thought I was the only one. Sold my 01 QS Z06 in May 2004 and bought an 04 Black Z06. Sold it a month later. I thought the thrill was gone. Just bought another QS Z06, an 02 this time, with 12K miles. This makes 4 FRCS, 3 of them Z06.
