What have you done for your Z today?

LOL no decals sir, all airbrushed. The kid and his dad want a project\show car to tinker with. It was fun but I have had the car since it was new in 04. I bought a vette a couple years ago and this thing just sat collecting dust. Lots of dust. It was fully sponsored vehicle when I ran it in the show circuits.

Found a few minutes so here's some clarification of what ***** I was talking about.
This is the $98 one, then one I got:
https://www.z1motorsports.com/interi...ob-p-2919.html
I just remembered it comes in chrome/carbon and titanium as well as polished and black.
And this is the Nismo Titanium one:

If the Z is a chick magnet, how in the... just nah. The only attention I get is from kids telling their friends "what a cool Lamborghini that is" and kid n.2 replies with "no that's a Macleran GTR" so uhm... dunno what that's all about. I guess if you're a pedo you're golden!
Edit:
Oh and don't forget the old people at gas stations.
"You know I also had a Porsche when I was your age. What model is this?"
Me:-Yeah it's not a Porsche.
"Oh... well good for you son." *Leaves*
Me: *sobs pathetically*
And the dudes in R35's who stare at you at intersections grinning in a "look at that poor mothawannaflubber I'm better than you" -kinda way.
/Edit
Anyway I finished up my Pioneer install with the HDMI/USB stuff needed for Appradio/Mirrorlink/Carplay, installed the GPS antenna and microphone. Aaaaand I changed out the gear ****. Is it just me or does the stock shifter in "euro" spec perforated Burnt Orange leather look like a ball sack? I put a black Nismo with a Z1 alu finished in there instead. Sorry for no pics, I'm at work pretending to do stuff.

I get more attention from wildlife than I do people.. Except for this old guy who hangs out at this diner I go to some mornings for to-go coffee that tells me EVERY TIME I SEE HIM that my car looks fast just sitting there. Its been ten times now and I'm like
..
. And then there's the girl at the brewery who tells me she really likes my car and that she has to treat me differently now. I was hoping for free IPA's, but it didn't work out like that.

i said the same thing, didnt even make it a year. i did intake, heads, headers, and a tune (the heads was because of the ls7 dropped valve issues). then six months later did the Doug Rippie Bilsteins, another six months and Borla ATAK was put on. i really want to cam it, but not while it is a daily

the c7 still hasnt grown on me, especially the Z06. it went from an enthusiasts car (fixed roof, manual only, etc) to convertibles, auto, etc. i get why they did it though

What are your thoughts on the Mid-engine design for the C8? I am assuming the mid-engine will be reserved for the Z06 badge for the first few runs.

i think they need to do it if they want to up the power, with my car being so light i spin 1st-3rd with ease. i have a feeling they will label it the zr1, but rumor mill on corvetteforum seems to think it will be a cadillac

I've seen the caddy spy shots too... but more so the prototype with the vette lines. If they badge it a Cadillac they will do some damage to the brand for sure. Yeah you are right about the ZR1... I always forget about that model since its few and far between with the limited runs. Shame...

Enough corvette talk. I'm struggling right now within about keeping my z, getting a new short block and some kind of forced induction.....or selling it and buying a c5 and supercharging it. Why a c5? I'm not a big fan of the c6 and don't want the payment that goes along with a c7.
