Default New Ride- Batmobile inside......updated pics

03 Z06 bought it with 25,000 on the clock. So far Ive taken off the Side Mouldings and lowered it on the stock bolts. Other than a Vararam and factory chromes its pretty much stock. I already feel like i need it to be faster though and ive only had it 2 weeks haha....ive caught the bug

Sorry for the crummy pics, Ill get around to a more proper photo shoot tonight.



Already at the track.....




Decent pics from last night....

i thought the same thing when i got my 02 z06

then i went to the road race track and turned off the traction control. Holy Sh!& Batman! felt like it had 50 more horsepower and was scary as hell to control out of the corners with full throttle, redlining the engine

i was in love!

How did you get the body side mouldings off? Mine came with them and I think they take away from the awesome lines of the car. I don't park next to other cars.
