Thats amazing. 45k for a c6 z06 with 11k miles??? Damn around here theyre 40k for 50k miles. Sounds like one hell of a deal.

Any plans to mod it? Most dont and its rare to see one thats been built extensively

not sure yet. i dont like how the wheels are sunk in, might do spacers for now and maybe eventually wheels. i did the CAGS bypass (at low speed and rpm it would lock out 2nd and 3rd gear, making you go 1st to 4th) i did the mild2wild switch, that just opens all 4 of the exhaust tips in the rear, under 3500 rpm only 2 were open. i am polishing and opti-gloss(ing) it this weekend... i want to wrap the roof and b pillar gloss black. intake, i dont see anything better than the oem, it is in front of the radiator and the scoop in bumper is actually functional, corsa exhaust is 2200 so that is on back burner. i have a friend that knows the tuner at Corvette World by me so i might just go ahead and tune it the way it sits to see if there is any gains

How are the seats? They look comfy but doesnt look like they can hold you in place. The black on silver would look sick. I would go with black wheels, but thats just me haha i like murdered cars so im bias haha

seats are comfy and they hug you better than the 350 seats do. i like my competition gray wheels (havent seen any other like it) but i just dont like they arent closer to fenders.

So are you planning 5mm or 10mm spacers? Cant really tell, but it looks like 10mm might be too much

i read that most people do 3/8 in the front and 1/4 in the rear (standard sizes i guess because american car) but with those sized i would have to swap out all the studs.

you can lower the car upto 3/4 inch with factory adjustment bolts, but i am leery to do that because the nose is so long, would be prone to dragging more

Oh thats not too bad then. I thought you would have to get new coilover or springs to lower it more.

Travlee appears to have an 08 Z06 which in stock form runs a reported 11.7 tire limited quarter mile, you I presume to have an 07 SRT 8 Jeep which appears to run the quarter in 13.4. Don't get me wrong thats damned fast for a soccer mom. Looks like you'd be a bit out of your depth against the vette. If it makes you feel better you'd still get the kids to soccer practice faster because the vette would need to make two trips.
Troll? I haven't disrespected anyone on here. All I asked was for 350z owners opinion without being rude to anyone. Then I was told I shouldn't reproduce.

BTW my Jeep is my daily driver. I also have a 72 Nova.
