It has a few bolt ons and made 417 to the wheels.

It's not a Stang, but it is one sweet car!

Very sweet car, the fact that it's not a Mustang is what makes it awesome lol. Seems like a lot of car for an average chick though, is she into the speed thing?

LOL the exhaust comes out the rear, those side vents (which all Z06s have) are air intakes.

Those side vents have always been venting for the rear brakes. One of the Z06 package items. The front brakes get their venting from the openings in the front facia if I recall correctly.

As far as I can recall, the Corvette of that generation (especially the Z06) has always had the exhaust come out the rear.

Hey brotato, I want in on this picture taking action lol.

Otherwise, that car is pretty sweet. One of my favorite style vettes.
I must admit I would be nervous with a woman of mine drivin it around though lol, and the fact that it would completely eat my car.
Good buy though.

Actually the front air ducts feed the intake

awesome car, my only gripe about them was how they made the vettes and camaros with such huge center consoles. I would imagine driving stick in those things would be rather uncomfortable with the shifter sitting at like chest height.
