I lived in Edmonton for most of my life, but now find myself in Nashville.
Hello to a fellow Albertan!

The way things are melting we should be able to go for a rip soon just have to weigh in the factor of sandblasting our panels off:lol:

In Calgary, the roads are pretty free of snow. BUt they are definitely not free of gravel and sand and wreckless drivers....:ack: I think it will be another two to three months yet before I will take mine out on the road.

When the snow melts and the roads are cleaned up.
Maybe June.

Calgary here. I'm running a C5Z, but my dad has the 08 C6Z06. Getting the itch to get the car back on the road since it's been so warm. The gravel will be a bitch but I will probably just duct tape the critical sections of the body work and grit my teeth.

Anyone going to be hitting up Race City this summer? I've signed up for a ton of race days to go beat the **** out of the car on the full road course.

They are designed to flatten our potholes when we drive over them.:rofl:

Go to Canadian tire and get some mud flaps for the sand.
Just kidding. Not a bad idea though. I had them on my C5 when I lived in Edmonton.

Hello again my friend, long time no see.

My car runs great. Got the AR headers from Andy[ he said hello ] , installed a K&N cold air, 180 stat, ported the throttle body and installed 3:15's.
My tuner thinks it should run 11's and should stay close with a stock Z. Only have 900 miles on the car and 400 on the gears, so I still need to do more breakin driving but I can't wait to run up to Fontana and see what it will run. My DR's are still in Edmonton so I might have to ship them down cause I don't want to burn up my new Runflats.

Cheers

Not free of snow today, snowing like crazy. I'd be fine if everyone would just get out of my way!:rofl:
April is usually when I bring mine out for short jaunts, although I'll keep it off the Deerfoot until they sweep off the gravel.

2 years then the land reverts back to the city. Road course, oval, and drag strip closing-no news yet of any new facilities. :ack:

I just got my 06 C6Z back from the US.

It has the Quality Motorsports Ported heads/QM600 car/fresh shortblock/Ram dual disc, etc. Made 589whp on the dyno, and it wasn't even broken in yet. This will be a road course car, primarly for SoloSprint. Penske shocks/Brembo brakes/APR wing and splitter.
