Default I'm Back...

Well after about 5 years playing in the Subaru world I have come back to the Corvette World. I used to have a 2001 Z06.

I just picked up my new to me 2011 Corvette Z06. 12,500 miles, Carbon Fiber package. 1LZ. Black on Black on Black. I think it has the ZR1 body side skirts, lip, and rear wing-let?

Still doing my research on the car. Whoever had it before me installed a Vararam intake, Long Tube Headers, and B&B Exhaust. Sounds real mean.

Good to have you back. How does the seat-of-the-pants dyno compare from the C5Z?

MY C5 Z was putting down 415rwhp after mods. My new to me C6 Z06 with headers and intake and I assume a tune would wipe the floor with the C5 Z. It pullsso hard past 4000 rpms that I feel like I'm going to take off into space.

I will say I am getting used to the MPG change. MY STI was about 16-18mpg mixed driving. Right now I'm at about 14.5 mixed driving with the C6 Z06. I like that its half civilized and half monster. It's my daily driver and I put about 350 miles per week on it.

Feels good to be back.
