Nice Z! Owned my 06 Z for almost 6 years with
​​​just routine maintenance. Moved up to a 2011 Z over a year ago. My 06 had over 45k miles on it including a few track days & autocross. I never modded or addressed the heads because it was under warranty. Great car so I bought a newer one. Enjoy it!

Congrats on getting a fine looking C6 Z and welcome to the forum.

I'd recommend you spend a lot of time in the various C6 sections - some great info over there.

Thanks, I have been doing research. Just got the car back from ECS. I had the heads done, this way no more worries.
