Try BPU++ on this car and it will REALLY wake up.

lol when i was right out of high school working at a chevy dearlship i remember at the time the 01 z's were just coming out and i would drool over those then in 02 slight more "hp ratings" and i would clean the cars if there were not even dirty.dont get me wrong i love my stealth awd aws and twin turbos..but 8 years with the same car that i have maybe put 30,000 miles on is starting to wear thin on me..esp since parts are getting really hard to find for em
here are some pics of my current car

It is definately a sweet looking car. The color leaves a little to be desired for me but I also am not a fan of bright colors on cars. To each his own. I like the updated nose and headlights though plus overall it is pretty clean ride.

You did a nice job on the Stealth and buying the Z......Learn to drive it stock before you start wrenching it...... It's a true sports car..
Oh Yeah......easy to work on, parts readily available and lots of aftermarket stuff out there......

I've driven lots of DSM cars, and I can tell you the difference between a Stealth and a Z06 in every aspect is simply a new class. You're moving up a few classes. You're going to love it.
Edit: BTW, I like that Stealth. Looks pretty clean. I was more a fan of the 3000GT's looks, but I think you really made it work.

One big difference I have noticed coming from a turbo car is that corvettes seem to run well all the time provided that they are tuned accordingly for the BPU stuff. Believe me when I say you did a great job of making that color look good. I think that black top and rear diffuser help offset it along with the gunmetal wheels. Just curious what color Z06 did you get?
