Spy shots - Corvette Z06
I'm pretty sure this car is a hot rod version of the hot rodded Corvette Z06, maybe it's Just a 2007 or 2008. It was headed north into downtown Ann Arbor on Main Street heading towards the EPA testing center if I'm right.
I took the pictures at about 9:00 AM 11/02/06.       EDIT: This car did not have manufacturer plates, and was being driven by a woman doing her best to ignore me.

It would have a manufacturer plate on it if it was a newer GM model coming out. I see funny looking cars all the time from GM and they all have a man. plate on them. That is some private individual's car maybe being prepped for a race or something else.
Hmmmm strange......

Having an old oil spewing 911 buzz around you like a fly circling dog dodo may not of been the highlight of her day - sorry lady.
Not much in the sound department to report as it was never opened up, traffic was kind of thick. We were in a 45 mph zone, after a mile went to a 30 mph zone and then a stop light. The truck-like rumble of a Viper V-10 was not there. The whine of a supercharger was not there. Remember, I was in a 29 year old air-cooled 911 with the windows up and no heat (shot heat exchangers). If there was any sound to hear, it was from my antique and I was loving it.

The view from a Porsche of the killer Vette.
Get used to it. I'm so silly.

give it a 1000bhp and price at $20k and i'm still not interested... what's the point? just to go fast? i'm pretty sure i can put a down payment today for space travel if i wanted to... it's not what you do, it's how you do it.
call me back when 1/2 of europe starts raving about what a great sports car they've become...

I like the cardboard hood scoop.
Are you sure this isn't another one of those 'E-Bay specials'! "One of a kind. Unique factory body kit....etc."

That hoodscoop looks horrible. Can't we make fast American cars without all of this cheesy retro styling crap?

Last good looking Vette was '67, anyone care to disagree?
