Crossing Fingers to make Z06 Fest.

Z06 Fest Yahoos.

Had to put my Z06 in the shop today. Some kind of awful noise coming from the front under power load. First gear is getting a bit hard to engage, so the car is not functional for the Z06 Fest Events. The shop that has the Z06 knows that I'm scheduled to be at the fest, however, if something serious is wrong I may not make it. Worst case is I still come but trailor the M3....and I don't think all you Ole Timers want a little IL-6 showing you what real performance driving is all about. I mean I'm just saying....

I'll keep Mark, Mike and Mike posted on the Z06s return.

Troy <-------- X'ing fingers!

Re: Crossing Fingers to make Z06 Fest.

Z06 or no Z06, as long as you are there, with whatever Euro-trash car you want to bring...

What about the rest of the crew, any of them planning on attending?

Re: Crossing Fingers to make Z06 Fest.

The cars are just the avenue we all met. The Z06Fest is all about the friendship and comradery. See you there, Z06 or not.

Re: Crossing Fingers to make Z06 Fest.

This just keeps getting better and better. The M3 has some kind of oil leak.....must of messed it's self when I told her she is gonna have to square of against C5 and C6 Z06s.

The M3 is in the hands of the best tuner in North America for M-Power. So I'm hoping to have that car out of the shop before I roll out to KY.

I don't see the Z06 getting out of the shop its at any time soon......However, this maybe just what I need to buy a C6 Z06.
