Default Red 2006 z06

Hey Guys and Gals, great to be here. I purchased my Red 2006 Z06 about 6 months ago, so I will have plenty of questions, Hope you don't mind? lol

Thanks Joe Wales

Any one know how long it takes to get pictures approved on this site? I click on My Corvette Photos under my Picture and it says both pictures are waiting approval? It seems that not two many people are uploading pic's of there cars? I aways enjoy looking at corvette's. lol

William, thank you for the welcome. Yes it's great and it's super to not be last on race day anymore. I was a previous owner of a Cobra Gt500. Those guys from Ford just don't get it. Comparing stock for stock (factory) the Z06 will beat them hands down. I look at how fast I can go from Zero to 60. :yes nod: and I save my speed for the track. William if you get a chance check out this site http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrol...mph-Times.html

Compare the GT500 Cobra Zero to 60 times with the Z06 time's and this will put a smile on your face, it did mine. Remember the times listed are stock out of the factory times. But I'm sure you already know being that you are a Chevy Customer Care person.

Have a super day.
