2008 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6
Color: "Jetstream Blue"

Completely stock down the air filter. will probably stay stock for as long as I have a warranty.
I plan on keeping this car for a really long time.
short term plans - appearance - Ron Fellows spoiler and new spyder design Z06 wheels before spring.


Congratulations, Curt!

[blacktavert]

I appreciate all the votes!

[Adam]

Curt, you deserved the ROTM award. You have one badass Z06 man. Congrats!

[Matt]

congrats dude!

[Cavanagh]

You deserved it man! Great looking Vette'.

[kaptain]

Congrats Curt, the car is great.

[psssst...passedyou]

Very nice. Needs moar mods, bit I doubt I would want to void the warranty either. :-)



Ps: Merc Slk is faster... ;-)

[Voice of Reason]

Nice ride for sure. I completely understand why you're wanting to not touch it and keep the warranty. Us slow cars need mega mods just to keep up with you in stock form!

[SnakeEater900Supra]

Congrats dude! :)

[kyles1988]

Congats Kurt...if you want, hit me up when you get the new wheels.

[Tabres]

Hell of a car. I definitely had to pick my shorts out of my rear end a little after the ride he gave me.

Congrats Curt! :)

i will be pestering you in the spring too. ;)

Definitely will do

I am expecting a similar ride in the turbo Cobra when you get it finished.

[paradillusional]

nice z06 man

[blacktavert]

Here a couple examples of the new wheels (along with non runflat tires)i am looking to get shortly,
I have always like the look of the comp grey wheels and they are the least common so I am leaning in that direction, let me know what you think.

it currently has the 06-08 Z06 wheels painted silver.

Can you get the Spyders in flat or gloss black? I think that'd look disgustingly delicious on your car.

I was just about to post the same thing! Damn it! Seriously though - those would look sick in black on your car!

[blacktavert]

Best picture I could come up with, might be photoshopped. I am not a huge fan of black wheels except on sliver or black cars

[gpGTPsuper]

ya those look like some real sharp wheels, but ya i can see where you are coming from with the black wheels and all

i think gray or something like that in those wheels would look really sharp, the chrome wasnt doing it for me at all though in those

That looks bitchin'! :drool:

[Voice of Reason]

Black rims remind me too much of cheap black steel rims that are missing hubcaps for my taste. But the comp grey is nice. Chrome with your blue is almost too much. How about polished?

[Chefasaurus]

[Adam]

In order from best to worst imo.

Comp Gray
Black
Silver
Chrome

my vote....only a z06 not a zr1 :) but if you feel the need, by all means buy a zr1

[blacktavert]

I am not a fan of the 20 spoke ZR1 rims, too busy and would be a pain to keep clean, But would definitely love to own a ZR1

I do like the JSB calipers that all the ZR1's have, have seen a couple other JSB Z06's get theirs powdercoated and it looks pretty good.

[fastbanana04]

yea only bad part about the ZR1 brakes is they are 7k

[variable]

Awsome car..couple pics I took from autox :D For the record, I like the stock wheels on the car now
