All black Vette, quite the rare breed

They do look sick though.

I've seen a ZR1 for the same price. Seems quite high for a 2009 Z06.

I like everything except the nitrous. I've just never understood the reasoning behind that unless you are drag racing. I'd hate to have to fill them up and stuff, rather just have power that's always there I guess.

It would be pretty cool to just press a button and have a bunch more power though.

Nitrous will made you giggle, one way or the other.

The benefits include quicker/cheaper power gains, instant monster torque on tap, no constant extra load on engine, and less weight gain. Having to refill is a downside, though.

No I didn't check the details. I figured it was something like that, but even still I'd rather have the ZR1.

The pic that Mike posted of the APR fitted Z06 is awesome.

Everytime I see a ZR1 my jaws drop. They look menacing..and those carbon ceramic brakes with those ginormous calipers.... I have to roll my tongue back up every time.

Anyone have experience changing out the water pump? I feel like my timing chain isn't quite loose enough to get it out. Just wondering if there's some little tip I'm missing.

Where is a GOOD touch-less or self serve car wash in the Dallas/Arlington area? I'm having quite a hard time finding one. Always had washed the Z by hand but don't have that option anymore.
