That's soooo cool. :cool: :cool:
I'm right in the middle of getting exactly the same car. Had to search half the country to find it. If I'm lucky it'll be here in about a week. :thumbs:

I am going through the same thing right now. I purchased the car on Saturday before the incentives went away, but the car has to make a 90 mile trip from one of my dealers other locations, plus I am traveling on business for two days. I should be taking delivery on Thursday when I get back home.
Congrats on yours. Can't wait to get mine. :D

Kewl. Sounds like you have some MAJOR fun in store. Why did you decide on the Borla Quads~? I'm trying to decide what direction to take myslef as far as mufflers. Please keep us informed on your progress. I'm gonna do many of the same mods as you but need some direction from someone who knows what's going on.
We will all look forward to the pics. One of the BEST investments that I ever made is a nice digital camera. It makes owning the Z even MORE fun.
Posting pics is a very simple process. Go to the test forum. The best place I've found to host pics for FREE is: http://www.digitalcorvettes.com
Have fun and be safe~!!

Hello vetterlaterthannever,
Noticed you live in Victoria. My Mother lives in Fanin. I'm sure you know where that is. We will have to meet up the next time I'm in Victoria or look me up when you come this way.
Have fun and be safe~!!

I chose the Quads over the two-tip because they look cool. I picked Borla Stingers because of the advice on the forum. I am very happy with them. The sound level at idle is only slighty more loud than the stock Ti's. At any other RPM level they really are much louder, but not too loud. They just sound very good and agressive...like everyone here told me..they make it sound like a vette should. Rev it at a stop light and it turns heads now.
I have yet to drive it hard as it was pouring down rain right after I finished the install and I am still breaking it in. I really am no expert at all...I have had my vette a week now and learning.
I will post a new thread in March with dyno numbers before and after the LS edit and Halltech trap. :smash: :cheers: :seeya
