Harley, what did you go with for a shifter and are you really thinking of dropping a 427 in [img]http]//www.corvetteforum.cc/ubb/eek.gif[/img][/B][/color]
Seems everyone goes with the Ripper, but I have heard the Kirban is even better.

0-60 in 4 sec. and 1.0+g plus on the skidpad and you want it to hold a cup of coffee?
"I do not understand you Americans. In Europe, if we want something to drink we stop the car."
--German BMW salesman.
My Z is my daily driver. 26 miles each way to work. Coffee waits until I get to my desk.
Many
~10,600 miles and zero problems.
Buy the car.

Pros:
1. Excellent conversation starter - especially with other sports car enthusiasts (European and Japanese included).
2. Good driver's car even on a daily basis.
3. Attracts a lot of attention.
Cons:
1. Conversation killer when "giving a ride" - they either cannot speak or yell so much you have to let them out! (just kidding
)
2. You hate to just be a passenger.
3. One state patrolman knows my car and license! (got a warning
)

Melting Slicks
QWK SLVR & Silver TT:
The Kirban is as close to perfection as shifting can get!! After a couple thousand miles, it is like a bolt action on a $12,000 big game rifle. (the HardBar C5R-type delrin **** is the best compliment to the Kirban)
Yes, I always wanted a 427 Vette, and when my factory warranty runs out, I'm GOING TO HAVE ONE!
I kept my A4 '89 coupe for 8 years, this Z06 will be around for a lot longer.
HarleyB (I've had the Springer for 16 years!)
P.S.: on the matter of the Bose stereo: I've only had one "good" after market stereo systems (or as I like to call 'em: BAIT for car vandals), and that was back in '77 [ADS/Nakamichi(SP?) - and IT WAS STOLEN with mucho damage to the vehicle] and I concede there are BETTER sound sytems (even factory), but I enjoyed the HELL out of mine just last night... cranked up Supertramp while driving super-legal through Seattle on I-5 at 10 pm. I still can't get the damn smile off my face!

Best:
Lots of Torch RED, outside and inside
1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear, etc.
Smart A/C system
Worst:
Stock Shifter and CAGS (both to be fixed soon)
Too easy to exceed the speed limit
Doors are so light that they sometimes don't close on the first try
