Any tips on c5 z06's are needed . I have a set of used c6 z06 replica's in c5 fitments on the way wrapped in v710's 295/40R17 and 315/35R18 i believe were the sizes should get a few events out of them .
whats the factory spec alignment on this thing ? Still wondering if i should go get it a little more aggressive but that means finding a good place in righmond to get one for the vette without braking the bank .

Saweeet! Definitely go at least a little more aggressive. You can get your camber and ride height set to where you are comfortable and then tune the handling (and prevent tire wear) by running more front toe out while autocrossing and turning it back for street driving. Toe is quick to change.

Awesome Chris! I think you definitely will have more fun
I posted some alignment info in an earlier post that will give you a good starting spot - look thru the posts from last week of so.
I will be glad to share eveything I can to help you get started successfully.
Welcome to the vette team and ditto on calling zip - you will get to know them really well
