Its not bad, the rear does get a bit squirrelly at times. I had it get completely sideways on me powershifting into 3rd gear, went into the opposing lane of traffic O_O

I've never driven one, but thats exactly what I've heard. The 2-3 shift gets people in trouble. I'm sure some suspension mods can help with that though:thumb:

I did that with ours once. I had the traction control in "competition mode" on accident. lol Shifted to 3rd and went in the direction of a pole but luckily regained control of it. Scary stuff. The car is so light it just goes everywhere sometimes.

The traction control/active handling on the Z06s is actually pretty nice... unlike our shitty traction control lol

Sometimes i turn it all off though and have a blast trying to keep the beast under control :D

Thats fucking awesome, congrats man. I drove an 09 z last summer, and holy shit theyre fast as shit in stock form.

Ive also had a run in with a couple on the highway and got bent over and viciously raped by them both.

How much did you pay for it?

I can't wait to see pics of the stang with the flat paint and new mods.

I have a buddy with a black Z like your trying to get me to sell my Bullitt and pick up a corvette. Its tempting, but i cant just ditch the bullitt.

Haha he was joking about the flat paint, car is still going to look sick with the aggressive and the splitter. I actually just ordered an aggressive lip as well.

The aggressive lips look really good on these stangs, especially when they are lowered, but the bad part is that they scrap occasionally if its too low.

I just need more air to the intercooler, you can barely see any of it through the stock GT opening.

Nvm found your 360 forged photoshoot thread.

I cut the bumper to expose the intercooler more on mine.

COngrats man!

I remember reading that you were somewhat disappointed when you strapped the centri blower on your Stang because you were expecting Z06 type torque.

Now that you have a Z and a Mustang, i would love to hear your comparison of the two after a few months, they are two very different animals in the same jungle so to speak, Where does one outshine the other and IF YOU COULD ONLY HAVE ONE, which would it be.

I am interested in getting a Z06 and I have been searching for someone who has both (Supercharged Mustang GTB and C6 Z06)and has/would be willing to do a full write up. You would be the perfect canidate especially if you track both of them. I would like to know the different lap times between the two and so on. Thats of course if your willing. :thumb2:
