Default Fredo Flys

I bought a new E55 in January, cost $86k. Took one ride in Fredo's car last Sunday. Sold the E55 on Monday, ordered a C6 on Tuesday, good thing people are still having to order E55's so the hit wasn't bad. I'm drafting off of Fredo's work, the car pulls like there is no tomorow.

I almost purchased the W211 E55 prior to the C6, but after test driving the C6 Z51 it was no contest...the Vette delivers in the straights & corners Anyways, I still got the supercharged E430, ML430 & S500.

Picked up my C6 Z51 on July 4th, thus far my mods are:

1. Borla Stinger
2. Kooks headers
3. Halltech Stinger
4. Wilwoods BBKs
5. WCC carbon fiber rear fascia & rear spoiler
6. Blk'd out OEM wheels
