Hello everyone,

I have an '06 Z06 track car, still street legal but pretty rowdy for street use. I've owned and tracked it for two years now. I've always wanted a Vette and searched for a long time before buying this one. After lots of track use and an entire drive line rebuild, suspension mods, brake mods,cooling system mods, and so on... I feel like I'm getting to know the car pretty well I've searched on this forum and found lots of helpful info. Hopefully at this point I'll have something to add to the conversations. I will fill out my profile more on the car. Dan
