nice, nice, nice. only thing i would want different would be the 6.0 ltr and ebony interior. how does she drive compared to your red truck?

enjoy!

She drives great. The tires were shot on my red one so new rubber helps. The steering and brakes are stiffer than the red truck but that is expected with the z85 suspension. I thought about getting the 6.0 but with gas as it is right now, that would just add to the expense. In about 3 weeks I'm gonna put exhaust on her and that will help a lot!

Awe man, I'm am pretty darn envious of that machine. That interior is the bomb-diggity! Especially the sunroof.

I keep thinking about how cool it would be if my truck was either a T-top or targa top but I'm not rich and I also don't wanna hurt the structural integrity of it.

I would change colors inside and out, but I like the sunroof and dash trim a lot! (Sorry but I would have that interior trashed in a week!) Maybe black on black.

I thought about getting black interior but it gets so damn hot here in SC I would burn my ass every time I got in it. Black exteriors look great but they are hard to keep clean...been there done that!

Nice truck, i too like the sun/moonroof. Gonna check with a local shop here to see how much to put 1 in my truck eventually. IMHO tho, the woodgrain dash does the truck no justice, but still an awesome truck. Good luck with it. Jim

Thanks for the compliments fellas! I'll try to take some better pictures since it was almost dark when we got home with her last night.

RE: Well guys, here she is...new Z71 in the driveway!

I have big hands since I'm 6'5" so that gives you an idea of how much room there is...

Ya'll probably noticed it took me less than 24 hrs to drop a K&N in her!

Nice truck I love the new body style they look so mean. Did your old truck have the e-fans? They give you allot more room.

EarnhardtZ71 07-01-2008 09:26 PM

RE: Well guys, here she is...new Z71 in the driveway!
 
No my old truck didn't have the e-fans. I'm loving it!

When you going to get a tune? I got an appointment for next week. I love that sunroof now I want one, or even better a new truck!

EarnhardtZ71 07-01-2008 09:45 PM

RE: Well guys, here she is...new Z71 in the driveway!
 
Well since I just bought this truck I can't really afford a tune right now. How much is your's gonna run you?

RE: Well guys, here she is...new Z71 in the driveway!
 
Im getting it pretty cheap. Im getting it done for 75. He said he's going to hook up the computer to monitor everything and drive it hard then tune it from that. He said that its better than a dyno tune because he tunes from actual driving conditions instead of simulated like a dyno. They do cheap mail order tunes Im not sure but I think its like 125 with free updates.

RE: Well guys, here she is...new Z71 in the driveway!
 
That'll have to wait for right now. I'll probably put exhaust on it first...but that has to wait a few weeks too.

Yeah it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to delete that pic.
