Hey that is great news -- been a while for Dave but no doubt well worth the wait. He is back in the fast lane.

Yes college forced me to take a break from my toys for awhile. I still miss my old Z a lot but I can say I do have another Z.

I only driven it 170 miles since it was the end of December when I picked it up and there is a 500 mile break in. But I can say she is fast I took a friend for a ride and he was screaming as we took an on ramp at 80+.

As mention the exhaust is loud but has 2 modes. For 650 hp it's fun and easy to drive. Can't wait for spring. I've seen stock Z06's running 10's in the 1/4 mile.

Yes the spoiler is stock. No it's not a Z07 the Z07 package is really design for the track with different tires, which last like 5000 miles and bigger brakes. This model has the highest down force of any car GM has ever built.
