Hello Gents just joined the forum to do some research on my future purchase. Looking to get into a c6 Z06 or a C6 ZR1.

Coming from the import world i own a 1200 HP Supra goes 8.5s@165 and still gets the groceries , picks the kids up, and hits the Taco Bell drive through lol ( Jk don't eat that stuff )

Little bit about myself , Former Jar head was in OIF/OEF and now im a nasty civilian. Got 10 years with BMW and Audi as a Tech ,but now im a Technical Instructor for Audi NA. So if you got any questions on them german cars let me know.

Looking into getting into a ZR1 preferably , second choice is a C6 Z06, ill be lurking in the back doing some reading with the hopes of picking one up soon.

Enjoy the vids

Keep it stock for a while , then later down the road some bolt ons. Probably going to keep it somewhere around 700-800 to retain driveability. My supra was just too much i went a little too crazy with it and i regretted it.
