Hey guys so I just joined the forum after being a long time lurker. I became the proud owner of a 2007 black Z06 w/ 38k miles back in October of 2016. Sadly my car became a statistic in January of 2017 and dropped a valve while on the highway resulting in complete decimation of the motor. Happy to say though that I am having a new block with a fully forged rotating assembly, prc heads, and a Texas Speed ls7r cam installed by HP Motorsports so I should be back in the driver's seat soon! Looking to attend meets and events, once the car is back, and really see what the community has to offer. Thanks for reading! :cheers:

Great looking C6 Z06!

Sucks about the dropped valve and subsequent damage it caused. But sounds like you're on track to make the car even better. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
