just bought one from stratstones.....black with black.....have tended to change my car alot but think i'll just hold on to this machine for a while! its also the only car ive ever bought without driving but had an 05 c6 manual last year so think i'll be happy enough!!!was tempted by the silver 06 they have up for 46k but its an old press car.....prob will stick the abuse fine but would rather stick the extra in for piece of mind!

Welcome to the smile zone! biggrin

First thing you have to add is one of these: http://nakidparts.com/id25.html
It gives you manual control over the exhaust valves so you can have that great 427 rumble at idle!
Absolutely essential for any C6 Z06 owner IMO.

He even ships to the UK at the same rate as to the US. Arrives within the week normally. 5 mins to install. (No I am not on commission!)

Congratulations!!! Black with black - i presume that means black interior? Very cool. Have you thought about getting black wheels to go with it?

I think i want mine in black with black wheels - looks mean as hell. having said that, i know what a pain it is keeping black cars clean so i'm tempted by yellow too! or maybe red. or blue... damn it!!!

BTW - thread hijack - if i'm going to import one from the us, i think i want an 08 model as i hear steering feel etc may be improved - does anyone know when the 08s will start to be available? I know they do things differently over there so i assume it's not jan 08....
