Default New to me C6Z.

Hello...
Just wanted to post up that their is a new kid in town sporting an 08C6Z (3LZ). Have been a long time CF member. Replaced a built 01 C5Z that I owned for 9 yrs.. Finally decided to sell and step up to the C6Z platform and build on it. The car is bone stock w 22K, i'll leave it that way for awhile. Contemplating doing a H/C/I/E car.... Or a blower friendly cam w blower, supporting mods, meth. Looking forward to learning more about this car and becoming a part of the C6Z crowd. The guy I picked it up from replaced it with a C7Z.... A few pics in her current state.

Great looking Z! The interior colors are a cool combination!

I also came from a modded C5Z...a cammed Z16 to be exact. I've "seen you around" a lot on here, but welcome aboard the C6Z train.

Congrats! Good looking car, but I'm partial to black.

Lots of proven combos out there, take your time and choose wisely.
