    This looks more like a car mark could pimp to the office.

    The Aero8 hardtop in gray is better looking. The other one looks decidedly lazy eyed. Either way, its no Excalibur, praise Allah.

    It's good to see Ligenfelter back with the Vette, but 725HP? There is no way you could get that to the ground unless your commute involves an NHRA sanctioned quarter mile. And you still need a set of 10" Mickey's. I hope they left the traction control alone.

    I think for the sake of throttle response they have been conservative in the turbo size and tuning departments. I was expecting closer to 850HP, considering the normally aspirated Z06 now makes 500 on the same number of cubes. If that thing suffered from turbo lag I can't imagine how scary it would be. Pushing the pedal through the floor mat would be really fun until the boost shows up to the party. Then you swap ends. I might add that it would look smashing under the back end of a 53' Fruehauf.

    But I think they’ve hit the target market. If not, the styling, price and the 725HP should qualify it for grand prize in the Enzite sweepstakes.

    Quite honestly, I think the 2006 Z06 is so good that Ligenfelter will have a tough time trying to make it better, no matter how much money is thrown at it.

    I'm more into pimping the Allen Edmonds to the office these days. I don't drive anywhere anymore. Most Nothern Virginians barely go fast enough in their commutes to consider it driving. Halliburton should fire me for that.

    I did see the dyno pull. That's one pmp caddy. But you have to pay 23K for 130HP. Not worth it in my opinion.

    Hell, the stock '06 Z06 runs neck and neck with the GT. Oh its about 80K less too.

    so for 13 it is still NA? man what a waste, you could buy a Paxton kit for less than that, get the same or better results, and only take a weekend of your time putting it in.

    Oh, and Allen Edmund's are the shiznit Though you were a Johnson and Murphy fan?

    ...and the prestige that most of the self indulgent weiners are looking for in buying a super tuner car.
    Boats and hoes

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.

    Oh you mean people who are "Greg Zenner-ish"

    I'm a disgustingly overpaid yuppie engineer, since I have no hobbies I have cash out the ying-yang. I read about this car in Car and Driver, and while I understood nothing of what the article said, I can spout off horsepower and top speed #'s for any car made after 1999. I bought this car because it was fast and it had a warranty, that in itself makes good business sense!

    This car makes me feel like a man, and with a little luck, I will lose my virginity before the age of 25
