Burn off those Goodyear runcraps ASAP. I'm running General UHPs and they're awesome.

I've been on vacation in Vancouver since December 21. There are a lot of high-end cars on the streets here - I've spotted GT-Rs, Porsche 911 Turbos, Audi R8s, Aston Martins, even a Ford GT. Interestingly, I haven't seen a single C6 Z06 during this trip.

I'm in Langley, By the way its Velocity Yellow, not Victory. My 06 Z has 95,000 Miles. I have a VY 2010 on order. My Z came from Duecks and was the first Z in Western Canada. Arrived Oct 25/05.
I am currently in Aruba for 2 months, back on Mar. 1. Hopefully by then we'll have some good cruising weather. There are quite a few Z's in the lower mainland, but only a few on tghe forum.

hey Jeepo on another note,I see you have put on a lot of Miles on your Z.Did you have any major issues with the motor at all.Seems to be a few out there dropping valves.I have only 9000 miles on mine.

Hi
No, no motor issues at all. I do always let the oil temp go to 140 before any wot's. The only expensive problem I have is new tires.
I went to Brembos when the Z had 50 K on it. I have been to Spring Mountain a few times and that really makes you appreciate the performance. I will probably turn this one into a track car this year.
