Re: New Toy
The lack of boost under the hood of that thing is depressing.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It makes me feel better after thinking about how bad my butt is going to hurt after the payment book shows up.
If you can't pick up pussy, I strongly suggest buying a black Z06. I honestly believe GM built the car out of some magical vagina alluring compounds, and let me tell you something, it fucking works.
I can deal with the lack of boost. Next week it will be making 500+ to the wheels with just headers, CAI and a tune, while still getting nearly 30mpg on the highway. If that's not enough, I can always flip the switch on the Boost In A Bottle.
I *heart* my 427.

Re: New Toy
Thanks guys!
Last night I cruised it out to a local car event. There were all kinds of classics and oddly enough, tons of people flocked to the Z-oh. Even the import guys were asking tons of questions about it. So far a Vortech'd Viper and a BPU++ Supra with a large single wants sum. Why is everyone always picking on me?

That was the camera. The car looks like it's been color sanded inside and out. It's the best factory paintjob I've ever seen.

Re: New Toy
Today I sold the stock wheels. Tomorrow morning I'll make the call to CCW to get the new wheels headed this way. My headers should have been here Friday, so MTI has gotten a couple of shitty voicemails and emails.
Jakey, the F350 has been sitting next to the barn out at my parent's house since early this year. I parted all of the performance stuff out, except the exhaust and transmission. I haven't had much interest in the diesel thing right now. Sometime in the near future I'm going to put it back to stock and sell it, when I find time to work on it. The next diesel will be a two wheel drive standard cab F250 with a bobbed frame, tubbed and a shortbed...and of course, a Cummins. That project will have to wait until my '67 Camaro project is done, which won't be until sometime early next year. Since I bought the Z06, I've changed direction with the Camaro and now it can be more of a race car. I was almost done gathering parts for a 402 stroker LS2 with a ProCharger F1R, most of it was gone within a week of being for sale. Now look for a big inch big block with a sheetmetal intake, two Dominators and several stages of spray. It's time to get a little more serious.
BTW, the fucking bitch I brought back with me from Minnesota left me about 7-8 weeks ago. I'm currently accepting applications and I might have to head back up there an export another one.

Can't say I haven't heard of that before.

Yeah, I found it. It was right behind the steering wheel...and it was full.
Saturday night I made a pass out the local street race spot. With a soft launch it went across the line at 125+ and it was almost 90* outside, plus high humidity. This car should be a keeper if it's trapping like that bone stock with only 400 miles on it.
My neighbor is a Texas State Trooper. The first words out of his words when he saw the Z-oh were, "I'd sure hate to try to chase that thing." My reply, "Yeah, I'd hate to have you chase me too."
Matt, these are my famous last words to my Minnesota woman...
"You ain't the first whore I've ever been with, and you're not going to be the last."
Just like Captain McCall told Agustus in the movie Lonesome Dove.... "Well Gus....you always have your whores."
I'm such a hopeless romantic.

But isn't the Dipstick over on the passenger side? If I recall my wifes GA's Dipstick handle is also yellow. Oh and that power steering pump reservoir sure has not changed at all. Same look on the 3.1 v6's.
Also does that have the HUD that was in the GTP's? Trying to figure out what that opening on the dashboard behind the steering wheel.

Most people just don't believe someone as cool as myself could be a dipstick.
Yes, the big aluminum dry sump tank on the passenger side rear of the engine bay has a level indicator with hash marks and everything. It's kinda handy.

After EclipseGST cleared every thing up. I figured it out on my own. Granted I am like this some times:  But I also did this  and answered the rest of my questions. Thank you and good day.

Sweet ride. You should run it stock to see what it does before the performance mods.

Re: New Toy
NICE! Badass car dude. My friends dad and I stripped an 04 vette, added exhaust, cam, and intake and a nice tune and the thing runs low 10s all day!

Re: New Toy
Technically they do not have a "dip stick" due to dry sump. I was just giving him shit...
Its a oil tank on the drivers side as mentioned earlier.
Yes it does have HUD... Most, if not all of the newer vettes came with them if I can remember correct.
