I had my Z delivered too. I was pretty excited when Reliable Carriers pulled up, so I know you are having a great day. Enjoy!

Mostly stock 4200 miles. 2006. Shifter feels ok but not great, this may be the first mod....... I had a 2010 C6Z06 shifter in my last o6 that felt good..... Have not tried the MGW in a 6 yet but had one in my C5Z that I liked..... Clutch feels really long as well. Hope this is just an adjustment. With so few miles, Ill probably start with fluids and checking all belts and seals.....

Whatever you do, check your valves. You probably are familiar with the LS7 valve guide horrors many of us have suffered; if not, your first major "to do" is to check them yourself or get them checked by a competent mechanic. My 07 Z06 went to the mid 30's before I was visited by "the curse;" others have seen it at 4K, so take heed.

Got mine fixed and it runs great now! 44,000 and rolling.

Enjoy that beautiful machine! And, if you've never heard of 303 Protectant, check the stuff out. It's great on your vinyl (UV blocker), and it sheds brake dust off my wheels like a champ. Yours being black already, might not be a biggie, but it sure makes a difference on my stock chrome rims. Works under the hood, too; my engine stays clean and pretty.

Congratulations, again, sir!
