Default New Z06 Red Dragon

Sold my 2012 Vert after only a year. I was a bit disappointed on the performance (Hennessey 650 Pkg) and I was limited going to HPDEs.

Purchased this 2008 from a forum member. The Mod list is to long to list.
Drove it from Orlando to Louisville and the ride was amazing. I can't wait to go to the autocross this weekend at NCM.

Thank you. The previous owner actually designed and added a graphite composite piece under the front splitter removing the air dam it provides better aero and protects the CF splitter because it's very durable.

Very nice car. I really like the suspension upgrades.

I wish I had a Red Dragon. Yellow isn't as fun.

Definitely safe to say. My wife says I can't buy another Vette.

Very nice pick up. I'll forever be jealous of every red vette I see.

Here's a link to the for sale thread. Look under Aero. If you look closely in the pics the splitter has a lip to it which is a totally separate piece. You might be able to PM Blkbrd69 on where he got the material. The guys a Engineer and has some serious skills. When I get a chance and get the car back in the air I'll take some pics.
