That's awesome - looks like a direct bolt-on too! How about the shocks - don't they have that new magnetic-ride crap in the '10 Z06? Does that make a difference?

yes please get a good set of jack stands, that looks dangerous. especially that black jack looks like a stock emergency jack. id be scared to get under that.  especially after i had a jack slowly give out on me a year or two back while measuring the yoke on my trans am. scared the hell out of me.

Magnaride was not on the Z06 untill the recent Z07 performance package gave it the ZR1's brakes, shocks, wheels and tires.
Magnaride was standard on the old Z51. Not sure if the new Grand Sport has the same system, of it uses the Z06's standard shocks which are not computer controled.
