Havoc's New Daily Driver- 427 LE ZO6
I just secured a 2008 427 Limited Edition ZO6 Corvette with only 1,400 miles. 
It's #217 out of only 505 built. It has Kooks stainless longtube headers with Magnaflow catback stainless exhaust system and a Vararam cold air intake kit. It produces 540hp crank.
This will be my new daily driver
and will help keep my Beast lasting forever!

Nice choice bro!! You'll love it, def be faster than your SL55 even after all mods (when are you getting her back anyway? I hear Robert's C55 is still their LOL)
I had the same Kook's LT's Kook's X-pipe w/hi-flo cats & BB cat-back, sound was ABSOLUTELY stunning! I had peep's covering their ears when I hit throttle around town

I'm currently getting keys made and it's taking forever. My orignal key melted in the fire at Vadim's shop and I lost my spare! WTF!!
No worries, everything is there and ready to be installed.

A few more pics. Gotta love those 427 decals.
I'm currently overseas and can't wait to pick this bad boy up in 2 months. ...
It's going to be a fun drive from Houston to Los Angeles!

SL55
I've owned several 'Vettes over the course of the past 18 yrs. Currently have a C5 to go along with my SL55 and have seriously considered adding a C6 Z06 to the stable. A buddy of mine has one and it's an absolute beast! Not to mention there are so many mods that can be done to those cars that you'll never run out of things to do. Be sure to post your driving impressions once you've had some "seat time".

Very nice ride.. I thought that facility looked like Global in stafford Tx. Been in there a few times. They race lambos, GT40`s, Benzes and anything a customer wants to test up and down the street.

Brand new these 2008 427 Limited Editions carried an MSRP of $84,195 and included the 3LZ premium equipment package with a custom, leather-wrapped interior. A navigation system was the only option at an additional $1,750, which made the 427 Limited Editions a $13K premium over the mass-production ZO6.
This particular one was listed for $71K and I talked them down to $66K. I think I got an awesome deal because it only has 1,400 miles and it comes with $3K in mods.

It was one just like it. I purchased mine from a dealer in Houston Texas.
In total, 505 (505hp) were built. 427 (427ci) were sold in the US and 78 were sold to private buyers outside the US.

...and I know what you mean.Vadim has everything ready to be installed and it should take him about 2 months, but he's waiting on me. I lost my keys and I need to order new ones. It's been 3 weeks already and still nothing. It's hard to do business with only a weak internet, no phone, being overseas, and relying on other people to do your business on their time.
Even though my car has been at Vadim's shop for just over 1 1/2 years, we were waiting for Victor to get the engine built which took him just over a year. Keep in mind we shipped it back up to Canada for tear-down and inspection after break-in. I didn't help the project either when I decided to scrap the project and sell it back to Victor which delayed the engine build by months.
Regardless, I'm just trying to move forward and get my car running and this project completed.

Here are some pics of other 427 Limited Edition ZO6s I found online.
Damn this car is growing on me!
I can't wait to put on the mileage!

It looked fierce! I wanted to chase her down to possibly play but had other appt. Nice color combo in person pix don't do her justice, you'll be in love.
