This is my new daily driver. Gets great gas mileage, too!! And, it is a lot faster than my 01 Z06. I can't wait to see what it will do against a couple of friends that still have all factory 02-04 Z06's.
Not in my 01 Z06. It's stock and plays with a 07 Z06 all the time!!

I have a 99 crown vic for my dd. The problem is that i cant bring myself to drive it....ever. The z is too much fun and i get too good of gas mileage to drive anything else.

Now that the Mustang's heart is pumping again, the Z will share time with this....

2000 S-10 ZR2. I love the truck, but with those 31's I only get about 15 mpg. I drive the Z06 as much as possible.
