pulled the trigger
Well - I am now on my third c7.....in 12 months 
my 1st was a 14 base AW/AR 7 speed - I procharged then wrecked...
my 2nd was a 15 3lt z51 AW/AR A8
I just picked up the Z06 and went back to the 7 speed - I enjoy driving the stick more than the A* - the A8 was fast, but not as much of a drivers car as I prefer.
Anyways - wife was happy I am happy with the new car - hopefully this is the last purchase for 2-3 years.....

Very nice. At least you don't go through all the drama most people do including myself on picking a color. Curious, was the accident in the pro charged Stingray as a result of the power? Also, how would you compare the power of the pro charged Stingray to the Z06?

The procharged car wreck came from a differential issue - not related to the procharger, just bad luck. I don't know yet about which one is faster I literally picked the car up tonight and drove it home. Feels good, but can't be sure just yet. I haven't really rev'd past the 3500 rpm yet.
I will report on my progress with the build anyways, plan on leaving the car stock tune and just bolt ons for now - see what it'll do with that

Yeah I almost went with DSOM but changed my mind at the last minute because I couldn't find a color I would like on the brake calipers. I felt like a girl trying to match a purse to shoes. Ended up with my first choice which was Shark Gray with red interior and red calipers. Looking forward to your updates.

There is one I looked at today at a local dealer - but from the morning to the afternoon when I went back to the dealer, the car was covered in dust.... thought to myself - I'll be washing this thing twice a day and then having to burnish the brakes and swap out the tires..... I came real close....
