Maybe I should get some Z51 badges LOL.... There actually is a few Z06 convertables, but they did not come from the factory. Carravagio (sp) makes a conversion kit to turn it into a vert or a targa, but its not so cheap!

This person happen to be my brother, and he know a guy name Bill in Brandon that has a real orange covertable Z06 that he hang out with. The only thing my brother need now is the gauge cluster, and the seat. Then it will be hard to tell if it is a Z06 or not.

Hey man thats cool, I had no idea... I'm guessing he won first place, and I took home second. I wish I had someone to sponser my car so I don't have to drop so much money on this blower setup! The C6 Z wheels do look nice on verts tho in my opinion...

Yeah my brother know the feeling. That's his next project to get top mount blower. It's going at 6 to 7 grand right now. The problem with breathless performance that dont carry those blowers, but they do have the procharger supercharger. But my brother really want the top mount style. That's what the propose of the hood he got.

I have Z06 badges on my vette... As for coupes/verts with Z06 badges, they can do what they want to, it's their car after all.
Then again, if I have to look at a Z06 badge on a non Z06 car, representing a Z06 when it is clearly not, then I might have to talk smack a little bit. Perhaps something (all in good fun of course) along the lines of how I'd leave my Z06 at home so that my Turbo Buick could tear up his vette on a road course, true or not true. It's funny, when I'm rolling in my Z06, I see guys in fast cars and they are all about running strong and what not. Then I mention that they'd have to race my Buick, not the Z06, and for some reason they tend to decline when I answer, "yes, a Turbo T is just like a Grand National."

The intercooled maggie is tried and true. Too bad you have to get a new hood when you put a blower on top.

The maggie is a great blower, but not the most efficient! Rumor has it since the release of the KB, Maggie will have a new competing blower also.
