Default Hello darkside!

Well the few months have been an eye opener for me. I have been a loyal ford guy for quite some time but most recently I got into an 04 CTS-V and fell in love. Five months later I sold it and began the search for a C5Z/C6. Well I just picked up an 04' Z06 last Friday from a fellow CF member, love it to death.

Current Cars:

2003 SVT Cobra
built motor
built 8.8
built tranny
etc...



Who cares about that junk though right!

2004 Z06
A&A Vortech V1
supporting mods
etc...





Thanks for having me aboard!

-Mike

Both rides are very nice. I happen to like both Vettes and Mustangs (I do lean Chevy tho). I'm actually seriously considering buying a BB powered fox body for track duty.
