My first Vette! 08 Z51

I used to be a Mustang guy and my recent car was a 06 STi....but a buddy of mine showed up at my house in a vette and I just had to get one! Once you drive one, that is ALL you want to drive!!!!

I was going to get an 05, but then I was like...what the heck...let's get an 08

and I am so glad I did.....

Here is it.
2008 Z51 6spd NPP Machine Silver

I must say that this car is a beast and is by far the best car I've owned!
The LS3 so far is a great motor and I recently beat my buddy in his 05 Z51 6spd vette!

The car has the Sunset Orange Commander controller on it and the NPP system sounds soo good. I have some Kooks headers/x-pipe in the garage that I hope to install very soon.

Here are some pics....sorry for posting so many, but I just love the car!

Definitely one fine looking car Joel. Great pics! And with the exception of the manual tranny exactly what I would have ordered.

Hope it lasts you for miles and miles.
