Added to the stable!
In 2004, I was in a position to get my first Corvette, I was lusting after a Z16 but my wife would have nothing of it. I had to settle for the CE Vert in the same color with the slate interior. Well things moved on and I still have the vert. Got a C6 Z in 08 and kept it till last year. Sold it and got a 13 ZR.
Wanted to get into a little tracking but once again the wife put her foot down and she would not let me take the ZR.
So, I was in a position to pickup this Z16. 18K miles. It has coilovers, sway bars, seats, and harness. Byt h
Can't wait to get it on the track! I guess listening to wife pays off in the long run!!!
By the way, I crossed the VIN to the list on the corvette action center list and I believe I have number 7.

I do still have the vert. I just had come back from a the bro in laws to show him the Z16. I gave the ZR a quick bath and parked for the pic.
If I had a little more time I would have pulled it up too. When I do that I will use more than my camera phone!! LOL!

I told my wife a couple days ago that I wanted to add a Viper ACR in five to seven years and she went through the roof 
it didn't help matters that I just broke fourth gear in my Z06 the previous Saturday

Obviously the ZR is a beast. So there is no comparison. I just love that blow whine. The 04 has about 390rwhp and to be honest it really surprised me. with the suspension being set up, I really like driving it. It has a little of that hardcore feel to it. It is gonna be my little hot rod!
