Well the SVT is almost on its way out. Have to get it detailed and checked over and should be gone by Memorial Day. :(

So on Wednesday I drove down to Naples, FL to pick up my new ride. My uncle left his C5 Z06 at his house here when he moved to Florida so I drove it down there to trade for his Jeep. Now I'm the proud owner of a '95 Grand Cherokee with 250,000 miles. It has a 5-speaker stereo and a tight car phone. It still averaged 20mpg on the way back home.

The Corvette surprised me in that it didn't beat me up. With 480+whp it managed 25mpg at 80mph with the A/C on. That's with a 3.90 gear also. I had to engage warp speed a couple of times as the sound of that LS2 is something ridiculous. One guy came up to me at the gas station asking all sorts of questions. Fun to see the HUD skipping numbers as it tried to keep up with the acceleration. :)

Comeing down the SW FL and didnt inform us SW FL CEG'ers..Shame..Naples is about 45mins from me..
I know, I know. I was in a rush though. Or maybe I just thought I was in one. That Z06 makes you do stuff you wouldn't normally do.

It's like symbiote in Spiderman or something. :laugh:

My girlfriends Mom in H.S. back in the day had that same phone in her 87' Jag XJ6:laugh:

A ZO6 w/mods putting down 480 hp and its got a 3.90 gear instead of the 3.45 from the factory...WOW:drool: Did you guys check that gas mileage out, unbelievable! You truely can have your cake and eat it too, but only when your the King...ZO6!!!
 
That's a 95? I thought they moved the "Grand Cherokee" badging down by the ding guards on the front door in 95. Must have been 96. EDIT: I'm seeing mixed reviews on Google, looks like they changed the badging halfway through the year.

That is a twin to my mom's old '94 Grand Cherokee Laredo. I LOVED that car ... she sold it because I was going to be learning to drive and didn't want me driving an SUV :( I never did get to drive it...
