Thank you. This is about the polar opposite of some of the YouTube comments where people were upset when it cut to b-roll on some of the pulls. I'm smarter than that. It takes a level of maturity to own/drive a car like this and some people just don't have it or even understand. I get asked a lot how many tickets I have in it. Zero. I don't street race. I've been in the car scene too long and I've seen people come and go who do that. You can only do that so long before you get caught or worse. We will be following up with a track drive on M1 Concourse where we can show what the car can really do.

Jason, this just proves there is a lot of hunger for good Z06 related content.

Can you do something with a Stock Z06 and maybe run a laptime with it and then do a build of it with improvements that shows new laptimes?

That would be great, but there is risk associated with driving on the track and we would need a customer willing to let us do that. Some customers have asked me to drive their cars on the track before and I have, but I'm always very cautious and don't push the car to the limit, especially at M1 Concourse where there is little to no run off.

Enjoyed the video and the car looks great.

Jason, do you guys only do the larger builds with the Katech warranty on newly purchased Z06s or will you also work on cars that have been driven for a while? Asking for a friend who has 9,000 miles on his car (in case the friend's wife sees this post).

That was a great (and instructional) video!

Are those Katech rear diffusers? If not, who makes them?
