Yup. It's a kick in the *** if you haven't driven it in months.

You can't buy a bigger kick in the pants for the $$ you would have sold it for.

If I come across some 'throw away money" would love to put some C6 Z06 wheels and brakes on it and some flairs on the rear to accommodate em. Of course a little more power would be needed to justify the bigger brakes!!

Way too nice a car to let it sit for 6 months unused. Were you out of the country ? Drive that thing and enjoy it !!!

You wouldn't have had to jump if you'd bought a Ceitek smart charger from Dennis at DD Mods. Letting the Battery die is actually not good for the Battery's overall health and longevity.

Mine keeps the Z and the kids Ninja nice and charged and healthy all winter long.
