This was my daily driver for six years! I bought this 2008 Corvette Z06 in Dallas Texas in July of 2018. I went to Dallas to purchase a 2008 Viper from a place called Texas Hot Rides. When I got there, they had the Viper sitting next to this Z06. I drove them both, and I liked the Z06 better in every way. I love Vipers, but this particular Z06 had a huge cam, aftermarket heads, roller lifters, complete aftermarket exhaust and was making around 650hp. It was faster than the Viper, easier to drive, and $10K less expensive. Kind of a no-brainer. Anyway, I brought the Z06 home and had Ragin' Racin' out of Scott, Louisiana rebuild the engine because a few lifter rollers had failed. They added higher compression heads, Johnson link bar roller lifters, and a new tune, so now it makes about 670hp. (575rwhp on dyno)
