well figuring on your hook up.....i didn't think it would take almost two months?....
don't worry about what's under my hood......you'll laugh your butt off when you see my bfg's!...
The deal was pointless untill they got the right color. So once black arrived hurried up and signed the dotted line.

I think he did the right thing waiting for the right color.
Same thing I did with my Mustang. I told the dealer I'll take any color, as long as its black.

Hey nice kill MrRogers.  How many miles on your car now?
Right now about it has about 325miles.
Ive got 2,200 miles and have had it for 4 months. Keeping the miles down will add a good resale when I move up the food chain for a faster car (ZO6). I wish I would have known about you before hand Mr R because I would have been next in line with you for a new ZO6 from your dealer connection. I will admit I am seeing more of them lately(I drive for county transit so I do alot of innercity driving so I see a wide array of cars).
Black is definately the best color (but damn it's a bitch to keep clean). So far I've seen a LeMans Blue,Machine Silver, Magnetic Red, and Velocity Yellow. Amazingly I hav'nt seen a black one yet.
The Only negative thing you have on the ZO6 is XM radio. LOL
I had it for the three month trial period but decided not to stay with it due to the fact I hardly drive the car.

Hey MR Rogers when your done racing janine. I want a race to cause i think i could beat you also cause i got some gears still in the box that are adding like..... lots of little horses. I wonder what some people are smoking these days. Congrats on the kill and you need to hurry and post some pics that are bigger and clear, other then that you have one sweet ride.

As I mentioned in "the Beast has arrived" thread I had already got a kill in my new car. I was cruising on the 110S enjoying the open road when some guy in a newer model/style BMW M5 gets next to me and then floors it like I was supposed to be impressed. So I kept going at my regular speed but I shifted down to 3rd just in case he didn't know when to quit. Sure enough the guy slows down waits for me to catch up to him and then tries to floor it again..(Bad Move!) I floored my gas pedal and left him like he was standing still... He didn't wanna play any more and got off ther freeway at the next exit. This was my first kill and i'm glad it was a german car. Some of those snobs think that they can take out any american car once they pay 80K+ for one of theirs..
In all honesty, I think I'd burn you in the 1/4. Straight up. I wish you lived around my area.
and what does your car run?
Never took it to the track. Only have a GTech. Get consistant 11:30's with my Automatic tranny with 3200 stall converter. Problem is everyone says they are not accurate. So how can I know. The only reason I say this is because I ran a Z06 3 times and won the last 2 races by about 1/2 to 3/4 of a car.
Maybe you can. I never said that I had the fastest car. You show your age when you post things like that. I believe that there are millions of moded cars that can hand my ass to me. But there are only a handful of stock cars that are faster and the price for these stock cars average over $150K more than what I paid. I love Corvettes and I didn't buy a Z06 to beat everyone I bought one because I love Corvettes...
well said and good kill

Actually gears take away 3 hp on dyno. I am talking about rear end gears as 3:73's. Yet, a gear swap from 3:27 to 3:73 would FEEL like a nice hp gain but is not. I went with 3:73's because I use a charger. But would have gone 4:10's normally asperated.
On the low note, I lost about 1 1/2 miles per gallon after gear upgrade and I have to use high test. Around the NYC subburbs, a gallon of premium goes for $3.55. I get 9 miles a gallon city and 14 highway. I drive my Mustang Spirited all the time. That doesn't help.
And on the race. It would never happen. WE would BOTH win by default!

Never was in it anyway. That was his choice.
I don't think it helped when your response to his post was "i think i could beat you"

higher (numerically) gears have more teeth, more teeth meshing gives more friction.
