anyone here ever drive a z06?

[bakerr6]

z06 is hands down one of my favorite cars to drive. We have a couple of them in the family, and the wife and I plan on buying one in a couple years.

We both have a long dedication to GM vehicles, and have been very lucky with them. I would not hesitate to purchase a z06 right now if it was a financially sound decision

900 hp is not hard to achieve in a LS7 the internals have to be swapped but the block will handle it. They have 1000hp cars with much smaller engines like the Supra.

I didn't build it I payed someone to build it.

I come from a rather well off family and both me and my wife have good jobs.

A Ferrari tech tuned my car based on a fuel map he had but after a whole day of readjusting it was basically a whole new system. You have friends that work at Ferrari when your family are loyal customers and they are willing to tune you daily beater.

Please tell us more about the Ferrari tune. That sounds awesome.

Ferraris are so fast.

Scottsdale AZ has a service station not sure where any are at in Canada.

Wait, what cord?

So Ferrari uses a different OBD2 system?

Uhhhh...

@LSxJunkie Have we confirmed shenanigans yet?

Someone is new to OBD2 it seems...

That was my dumb ass friend who has access to my computer! I bought the car from 1bad when they where closing it was last years model and came with the suspension it was cheaper than he knows but did have 906 to the fly wheel I think it was a different block they built it and went under 3 months later the cord was given to me and had to be used for the car so I can't put the tune on any other cars and it was just a my long time friend messing with their program that makes older Ferrari pass emissions it just smoothed out the flat spots in the torque and made it pull a little harder threw the gears I bought the Corvette as an investment because I got it so cheap. It was a good investment took 6 months to sell but I almost doubled my money. I personally take my car to race shops for most of my work so I put that I have heard to do an exhaust before changing your intake but put that was just what I have been told and not sure how true it is. I fix jets not cars I let car mechanics work on my cars.

lol no. a brz/fr-s does not sound anywhere near a z06. even stock. i use to sell them....you haven't heard a z06 on a full exhaust with no cats or resonators. even stock form, when they first start up, that growl is ridiculous...then you pull the fuse for the flaps in the exhaust so they always stay open..it's retardedly awesome.

[n2oinferno]

Can't say I think they sound the same. I haven't had the privilege of driving a FRS or BRZ yet, but I have started them and revved them a little bit.

Nothing at all like the C5 Z06 I've driven.

[zenfrs]

I owned a 06 z06 and this car sounds nothing like a z06, not even close.
