Default Trading the Zkiller for Neil's Twin Turbo Vette

Sadly it looks like I am going to trade my vert for Neil's Twin-Turbo Vette.
After we met today, I have decided that I am doing the switch to brand-X.
I really love my Mustang. I have modded it to be the old-skool inspired performance Mustang I always wanted.
However, Neil's Vette knocked my socks off when we met, so looks like Ill be driving an 11 second 200 MPH Corvette starting on Monday.
I wont be done with Mustangs since we have the 91 Fox body but my experience with S197 Stangs has been awsome!
Neil's getting a an 11 second vert with 20K miles and I'm getting an absolute monster C5 Vette with 58 K miles and a fully forges LS1 with twin turbos.

Looks like you will both be very happy. Neat swap.

My last vette was a C5Z06. Looks like the Z06 emblem on the side there, but also looks like regular C5 body???

its not a z06, the z06 has rear brake cooling ducks on the side, the top is not removable and has a trunk. not a hatch.
