My new whiiiiiiiip

After about a year or so of searching, I finally found the perfect car. Here is its first quick photoshoot, I'll be doing another one with the cobalt since they are kind of like twins.

2008 Z06 4LT.










a pic of me taking a pic lol






Just goes to show patience really pays off, came pretty close to selling the cobalt and buying a Z out of AZ that had too many miles on it, and looked a little beat on. Glad I waited, this one pretty much was handed to me by a friend who gave me an amazing deal. Could NOT be happier, car is a beast.

Thanks everybody! And yes those pics came out great!!! Well the beauty is, motor only has about 1k miles on it, it was replaced a few months ago under warranty for an exhaust valve problem, entire dry sump system as well. The chassis has around 25k on it, new clutch and tires too. Motor is completely stock. Car is on KW coilovers, and Forgestar CF10s, 19X11.5 in the front, 20x13 in the rear. Plans so far are to get the valves strengthened, and while they have it opened up, small cam, tune, and exhaust.

Haha oh shusshhh. Yes I plan on doing all that. Just passed smog so I have 2 years to mess with it then I have to find someone to "pass" me.

And I am super happy that I got to keep the cobalt for daily driving duties.

No, this was another friend I met through Targa Trophy. He just picked up a new M5 the night I came and picked it up lol. David's is silver, but now wrapped blue.

Both beautiful cars!

when you get exhaust, get borla for sure, sound great. And looks awesome. but till then , pull the fuse for the dual mode exhaust, that way the baffles always stay open!

Thank you!!!!!!! This car is amazing. I can't get enough. I keep them open right now anyway lol. But when it warms up in the morning I have them closed. I actually think the cobalt is louder than this one haha.
