Default First Z06 Test Drive --Holy Crap!!!!!

I just drove an '02 Z06 for the first time and talk about a screamer! Even though it has many of the same parts as my car, it definietly has more grunt in the first 2 gears than my car.

I also found the stiffer suspension to be quite noticeable but not objectionalbe. It actually reminded me of some of the older Corvette suspensions (I had a '65 that was rather stiff).

One thing is for sure. the fun factor of a Z06 is top notch. Now, if I could only turn my roadster into a Z06 roadster.

Now, if I could only turn my roadster into a Z06 roadster.
This is offhandedly what I'm shooting for by next year. This year I did the Blackwing, carbon fiber power duct, and next year I plan on long tube headers, x-pipe, high flow cats, lower temp t-stat, and throttle body coolant bypass.

The goal, to have Z06 power in a convertible. Hopefully, I'll end up pretty close.
