Garage queens are very nice eye candy don't get me wrong.

Yeah Maxx... Just keep the 01 TRZ.... It's a beautiful car...! Like you and a lot of other folks on here, I built mine "for me"... Fortunately for me a lot of people like it too when they see, hear it.... took it to one of my Companies annual Golf tourney's yesterday and there were guys coming up asking me all about it... Like you, when I tell them it's an 01... their jaw dropped.... To some ( who don't know) the C5Z's that are built, modified tend to draw all kinds of people to them... To me, they are just a fun all around car... for the record, mine does not see rain, in climate weather... That is what the Avalanche is for..

I have gotten several "you want to sell your car" on my Z16. I just tell them to make me an offer I can't refuse, followed by "and no offer is too large". That usually ends the conversation.

2001 Z06 Club
I actually also have a 2007 Silverado RST i purchased in Denton in 2009.
She has a few tasteful mods, i guess my Z isn't my daily drive nor my weekend car. When i wake up in the morning is when i decide what i want to drive . They both see occasional rain since Houston weather is pretty unpredictable.

This is pretty much what's done to it...

5.3L Vortec
224/230 .581 .592 -110 +4
PRC dual gold springs
7.4 push rods
Pacesetter LTs and catless Y-pipe
K&N intake
Borla X-R1 muffler
Circle D 3200 stall
Corvette servo
Transgo HD2
3.73 Gears
All Regency Leather/Suede Interior with Carbon fiber accents
Dyno Tune

Best time i saw at the 1/4 was a 13.3 on street tires.

By then you'll have all the gadgets out for the C7 corvettes!
Good luck in your business growth, so far i'd say you're doing a hell of a job.

I think i may have seen it at the corvettes and crawfish space city corvette show in April.
Nope, missed that show. I've been away from the Vette stuff for most of the spring. All for good reasons, but haven't had her out enough yet....
