Default Got my Z06

I had a 98 coupe that I really liked. I saw a black ZO6 on here and decided I would try to sale mine and see if I could get this one. It all worked so I know have a 01 Z06 with the following mods.

Block honed
new GM pistons/rings & rod bearings
PRC 5.3 stage 2.5 heads
PRC 228r cam
PRC hardened pushrods
PRC dual valve springs
LS2 timing chain
Centerforce Dual Friction clutch
GM Master cylinder
GM Slave Cylinder
CCA oil catch can
Tick performance remote clutch bleeder
Dynatech powercats
Vette Doctors dyno tuned 426rwhp/408rwtq (DD dyno)
Dynatech stainless LT headers & x-pipe w/hi-flow cats
Borla quad-tip Stingers
Vararam 2B CAI
Chromed OEM wheels (NOT REPLICA'S)
Nitto 305/35/18 555R's -
shorty antenna
WCC Chromed billet exhaust plate
rear black out kit
lowered on stock bolts
Optima Red Top battery

This car is a lot of fun. Huge difference between my 98 and this one. Thanks for looking.

They can dip them in chrome though. These are stamped inside so they are speedlines that were chromed.

Great to hear you're happy with the car...I seriously considered the car but the maintenance of another black car is something I swore to myself I'd never do again...although NOTHING looks like a freshly waxed black C5Z!!!!

You've a great car there, enjoy it.

Be good,
TomK

Very Nice, I also have an 01 Z06 in black. Also, wheels should be Alcoa not Speedline. Alcoa was only used on the 01 Z06. Looks great..good luck with it.

Thanks. And I second the Go Raiders. Hopefully they do well in the Alamo Bowl.
