Pulled the Trigger!
Hey folks! I've been on the C4 forums as I owned a 1990 'vert, but she is gone and I am now the proud owner of a 2004 LeMans Z06. I'm sure that I'll have a bunch of questions and I look forward to sharing my experiences. I also have a 700HP 2000 Z28, so I am no stranger to the LSx world. I left the adapter for my camera in Spain (doh!), so I'll have to wait on posting pics. Anyways, just saying "Hello!"

Awesome find and sounds like a pretty stout Z28. What are the plans for the new Z?

Thanks! The LeMans Blue sealed the deal on the car...I love it! I'll have to wait until I go back to Spain to post pics, but I certainly will.

Thanks! The Z28 has a forged 383 with a little 100shot. My wife said she'll make me sleep in the Z06 if I try modifying it...
I'll wear her down, but the Z06 will prolly just get bolt-ons...

Thanks everyone! I wasn't sure about the Commemerative stripe package at first, but it has really grown on me. The LeMans blue should be a GM staple...it's really sharp.
