I love how he's running up against one in his siggy pic,

Nice freakin car Mike, hope to see it one of these days.

So whats diff about a CE? Just paint? Any mechanical differences to a regular Z06?

"The 2004 Z16 Commemorative Edition was equipped with a carbon fiber hood, saving an additional 10 pounds of weight. Other unique characteristics of the Z16 (Commemorative Edition Z06) are the polished aluminum wheels, special paint color and striping, and commemorative-edition badging and wheel center caps. The Z16 also received shock damping tuning for improved handling. The Z16 option accounted for the majority of Z06 Corvettes in 2004, totaling 2025 units, with 325 units shipped overseas."

Looks like you guessed it.

Well I got her all cleaned up and did my first mod :D

















And my first mod...

Looking good! How's radio reception?

Still really good. I didn't notice a difference, although I have not driven it around much to see what its like in different areas.

Either way, I hardly listen to the radio and that stock antenna was an eyesore.

I can't believe they still use a whip antenna like that considering the Bonneville got the in-windshield antenna in 2000.

I know, I can't understand that either.

I'm guessing they didn't want to change the body molds to accommodate a new antenna halfway through the production run, and just changed it for the 05's.

thats a *dang* nice ride you got yourself Mick... you should drive it to the Michigan meet and hit the track with it!. :D

and the 97 gets kicked to the curb


Lol,

looking good Mike,

Hey Jim, I still love the Bonneville, as I've said before, May it live forever.

I never even knew you took those pictures Mick. Look'in good.

Really nice Vette!
Drive safe and don't hurt yourself or even worse don't scratch the paint!

You can't beat a true antenae for reception. The in window units just don't pick up as well, IMO.
My Jeep and the 94 Grizz both have a power antenae and either beats the 00 receptive qualities.

Based on the recent pictures Mick took, it looks as though I need to power wash the interlock and replace the outdoor lights.

Must add that to the list of things to do, funny how it keeps growing.


The Vette has been plated and insurance is on as of tomorrow, wouldn't you know it, rain for the next couple days. So much for the first ride on a nice sunny day.

Paul, both my car and my friend's Nova (72) with antennas in the windshield get way better reception than standard antenna'd vehicles....

It depends on the antenna setup, certain cars have dual (front and back windshield)
