I have an interesting entry.

2006 Z06 6,000 miles, four track days (Solo License). Not a lot of miles but a lot of intermittent starts. Runs very well.

Purchased with 138 miles on Nov. 15, 2010. So it sat with very limited use for 4 years.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Do all my own Basic Maint. Brakes, fluids, ect.

You must have gotten one of those gold plated ultra special edition Z06's

That is some amazing mileage.

Another fine testament to the valve drop/guide wear issue not being one of a generic/design flaw.
