Default I sold out boys...

So I sold my ford collection and bought a MINT '04 Millenium Yellow Z06.

Yeah, I know, these are TERRIBLE cell phone pics. I'll get some better ones soon lol.





I stripped most everything off the cars before I traded them as they'll most likely be sold to moms and dads as grocery getters so check out the wanted section. I'll be getting rid of a brand new pair of bilsteins for any '03-'04 cobra. They have, maybe 900 miles on them. Cobra R tie rod ends, 4 '04 cobra wheels with brand new Kumho victoracers on them. Factory Stock '04 cobra catback and midpipe. A pair of brand new '04 cobra fog light bezels. A factory stock '04 cobra supercharger with maybe 900 miles on it and last but not least factory stock '04 cobra springs all the way around.

Thanks guys.
I'll still be in now and then to check up on Venom's amazing project.

Ugly?? No way guys, that car is badass.

Downgrade?? How so, would spank most stangs...

Woulda kept the Termi but that Z06 is equally badass, nice car man! Don't listen to these crazy ppl...

Awsome car dude! I have always had much respect for the "Vette". If I could afford to get one (annd if it were practical for a family of 4) I would jump on 1 too! If I could afford ANY car in the world right now It would be the BMW M5... corvette performance in a 4 door sedan.



BTW...... Nice pics.. being at the gas pump and all. That will prolly get to be a comfy place for you LOL.

How was it a downgrade? 2 Mach 1's and a Terminator.. Do I need to say more?

I have all kinds of respect for Vettes, no doubt they are awesome cars. BUT I would never have the style with the pop up headlights, just never has appealed to me. It just doesn't flow right, plus that body style was too round for me I like the newer more edgy version.

I definitely like it. Have always liked vettes. Not sure if trading in 3 stangs was worth it, but if you got a lot back and can mod the vette then right on. You should drop in a 408 and go all motor. Thing will sound badass.

I respect what every person here has said but I'm looking for all out track day performer and the cobra just didn't have it. I would have had to DUMP money into the terminator just to have her keep up with this thing...

I was NEVER a vette man until I just out of curiosity test drove one... That was all it took...

Extremely light fiberglass doors that have that luxury clunk instead of that POS crash.

The heads up display that is just to die for.

430 natural horses... (which honestly I prefer over the boosted terminator motor any day).

3100lb curb weight...

Flat under body

Full SLA up front, extremely low profile IRS out back.

Ducted brakes (from the factory).

28MPG!!!!

And last but not least boys... What they say about having no replacement for displacement is absolutely, 100% true...

Oh, and yes. This thing will be moving up to 383ci or into the 400's ci and into the 500+hp range very soon.

Oh, and I didn't trade in the Terminator and 2 machs on this car. I sold both machs outright and traded the terminator for it.

And it's a Z06, not a corvette. Get it right lol. Corvette's are for old ladies. I look at normal vette's and they do nothing for me, but a Z06.... I drool.

Congrats and great move . Unless you get a GT the Z06 is an upgrade from any Ford product.

If i were to trade in 2 Mach's and a Terminator, it would be for a GT500. Or a Saleen.

Or I would of just traded in the Mach's and got another terminator. One Coupe, One Convertible. haha.

I'd sell the terminator and one of the machs and start building the other into an abomination to science and physics

edit: everything I have said so far is out of jealousey the car really looks great

Still wouldn't keep up with the 'vette... lol

As much as I love them...

And not that I want to start a war but GT500's were meant for the strip. They do TERRIBLE at the track.

Wait, I don't think I mentioned a Mustang? LOL! Atleast you got another badass car to replace it..

Iceman:

I don't mean anything disrespetful by my comments, I just really never liked the style that the older Z06's had. Im sure the car is a monster, but I personally would have either kept the other 'Stangs or gotten a newer Z06.
