A real Z06 Update....

Well My Friends Uncle called me today. He had the Electron Blue 02 Z06 out for his lunch break. We were out in my friends 98 GSX Eclipse. He runs 12.60's all day long in the AWD Turbo 4 Banger. From a dead stop the Z06 is no match. About 100 the Z06 is coming back hard!!! I MEAN HARD. That car has some mean top end. I have beat my buddies Eclipse before but not by much. I think the Z06 in reality should run around a 12.30 or 40 on a good day and with traction. True there may be some faster & slower. Later in the week we are going to meet up again, but I will have the L.....

you may just have to out drive him, sometimes that is better than being faster.

SW: I saw that you sold your Vette a while back. If I had known you were gonna do that before I got my Z06, I would've bought yours, saved money and had a faster car. You still laying the smack down on the Arizona crew?

You mean the white ZR1 or the red ZO6?
Ya, the AZ boys don't say much after the 9.81@153 run in the Supra. They say they are coming to the TX2K in march, will see.

I started with a 3/4, it was to high in the front, so we cut a coil. It sits great and rides great. I also put the 99-00 style chrome wheels and rear tail lights in.

Yeah I have the 3/4 kit as well. Moved the back up to the 2nd notch on the Shakle. I am going to get the 2in a-arms to be at a 5/4 on paper but a 4/4 reality....

Actually, I thought you had a '97 LPE TT for sale a few months ago. I got a damn good deal on my Z06, but I would've jumped all over the TT if I had not already purchased the Z06......
