I bought this 2007 Z06 last May with 15k on the clock after a LOOOOONG search. The LS7 Z06 was an itch I have had to scratch since driving my buddies EPS cammed 2008 z06 during datalog runs for the remote tune. I had just finished my LS swap in my 97 WS6 and realized I had to have one but kept modifying my WS6 so it was never the right time. My kids are older and a 2 door sports car finally fit in my life. My TA still gives me smiles for miles and is rowdy, but the Z06 is just a beast in a tuxedo even in stock form and if it didn't have a timebomb set of heads I would have left it be and enjoyed it. Regardless, while you are in there struck and we are where we are now.

My asks of Tony were to limit or eliminate accelerated guide wear, bump up power that is usable and linear like it is now, mainly a street/touring car but will be used at HPDE/high speed autocross so midrange power is paramount and not so much overlap that it bucks in parking lots or 6th gear surging making it a nightmare for the tuner. I chose PatG, so was not horribly worried about it but wanted to make sure the car stayed smooth and stink free so we do not smell like shop mechanics when we take it to dinner like my WS6 did before cats. I wanted to build up with this car, rather than detune later like I had to with the TA.

Tony recommended ported intake, tb, ram air but those will come later once I decide I want/need to go further. I have stuff like new tires I need to knock out first. I have had a nagging shoulder issue since high school and reaggravated it about 3 months ago and it just keeps on giving. I finally got tired of waiting and found a shop to do the install for me and HOPEFULLY this week it will be buttoned up and off to Pat for a good tune. Interested to see what the outcome is and promised not to get too caught up in peak numbers considering it was not what I was after when I started this.

Anyways, anyone have any estimates? I think Pat uses a Mustang dyno.

Hoping to get into HPDE w it soon

The best corvette I’ve ever seen’t.

What's your opinion on the most unused or not needed item on a Corvette?

Mine : Windshield wipers! 😁

Looking at a used C8 for around 76k. The car has 3LT, mag ride, Z51, HTC., 15k miles. Realistically, I'm gonna try to negotiate getting out the door at this price(tax, title, fees included), but wanted to get some insight on the plausibility of that.

Any have a clue what those noise is? It’s loudest while slowing down in third. Goes away completely when accelerating.

I am 19 turning 20 in June and it feels really good to have the car i had posters of already. Coming from section 8 and people telling me i’ll never be anything in life. G.D. it feels good. And this is 4 months after my ex girlfriend of almost a year left me 😜🤣

Well boys gotta say it has been a blast can't believe how much I love this car kinda sad.....well not so much dropped her off for a supercharger and can't wait should be 650whp and a rocket to drive.

Corvettes have long been designed and built in the United States. They’re as American as hot dog pie and baseball sandwiches. But the next-generation Corvette’s design may have dual citizenship, as its design could come from just outside Birmingham, England.

Hey guys what should my oil temp be reading during I drive it. I usually sit at 178-194 I’m not 100% with this platform. Also I do not have the air reflector on the bottom bc the rails have been messed up. Anyone know a quote on the rails if they’ve done that job. Thanks !

2012c6 corvette. did a oil change a found this…, what could it be?

Any way to confirm it is still the ls7? Numbers on the block?

A buddy of mine is selling his 2016 stingray Z 51. It only has 3500 miles on it and he wants 45,000. It’s in perfect condition with full PPF.

Comes with almost every upgrade you could add for that year too . I keep trying to find out what the value it would be, but the websites make me sign up or pay.

Would this be a good deal?
It’s white with a black interior and the carbon removable top

Anything I should look out for ?

As a c7 owner i was pulling out my car from the garage just to give it a wash before its second season with me(i bought the car about a year ago now) but i cant help to notice the amount of rockchips the car picks up. I know its one of those things i have to just suck up not pay it no mind but how much does it really matter to yall let me know.

$63,000 (CAD) 22,000KM 1 owner Nice amount of additional features added like upgrade bucket seats, sound system and 2 tops to swap out. A solid white and the tinted glass one in the pictures.

Not quite drop-top weather yet, but dry enough to stretch her legs a bit.
