Guys (and girls),

I am happy to be here and to share with you my first Vette ownership story. I have bought a Twin Turbo C6 Z06 black on black and a super Twin turbo package with around 700 real rwhp

So glad to be here.

That sounds like a beautiful car. Listen wisely to those members on the board that have a LS7 car because they are a handful stock at 450+rwhp. You have an additional 250(*Yikes, Vant's right) beyond that. Being a first time owner you could find yourself in over your head in a hurry. Enjoy the car but be careful. A car like that is like a hand grenade.

Hang on, you're in for the ride of your life. Work into it progressively. You're going to love it. Of course, you won't even get the 9000 miles I got out of the first set of rear tires with just a black on black C6Z

Congratulations.

Make that 250!

most enjoy learning to walk before they run....I'm pretty sure your already an Olympic Sprinter. Sounds like a nice setup.. Enjoy the ride.. May want to try and get a sponsorship for some tires..I have a feeling you will be needing some shortly

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to our family!! Great place to be!!

Quick question.....your car wouldn't happen to be from Las Vegas would it?? I saw one for sale that sounded very similar to your description. Sounds like a BEAST!!!

**PerforminNorman** · 11-16-2007, 10:47 AM

Btw, can you post up some pics some time? I'd love to check it out.

Schweeeet!

Welcome to the site.

AtlBlkZ06 · 11-16-2007, 12:20 PM

Congrats

Now post some pics!

gl911 · 11-17-2007, 10:56 AM

I will post pics as soon as the car is delivered. Currently the car is in Vegas at the dealer where I bought it.

Thanks for all the nice comments. Don't worry about handling the power :-) I drive competitevely many race cars and was actually looking for something crazy for the road. I own a couple of "street grenades" among which a 993 GT2 with 650 rwhp and a mighty Ruf CTR ;-)

Thanks again for the welcoming!
