Howard Stern - Robin Quivers Corvette
Forget that Howard bought his parter Robin a new mercedes this morning...thats just the beginning of the story. Robin was talking about her 2004 C5 that she owns but was also talking about her and I quote: She ordered a new Z206 (yes thats what was said - a Z206) with a hand built engine that is still on backorder - she expected it last fall.
anyone every hear of a Z206? or better yet - a hand built motor? just wondering is anyone has ever heard of the hand built specifically.

Yup - all LS7's are hand built by one assembler who signs the engine.
Now Z206....I dunno.....she just doesn't spend enough time at CF....

Never heard of a Z206, but the LS7, like mentioned above, is hand built.

Though Howard is no longer on the air, not talking about Sirrus l really do not miss him in the morning on the way to work.
In my humble opinion it is easier to lister to David Lee Roth then to listen to Robin laughing all the time.
But Howard is funnier by far, an we will miss him.
