congrats! I have a C6 myself, along with the 370.

Vettes are pretty cool but pop up headlights FTL!!

Thanks people.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of pop-up headlights. I was thinking about changing them out to the C5R fixed headlights. I've heard they're WAY brighter too. These aren't that bright. I put HIDs on my 300zx and those are a lot brighter. So I may do the same thing on the vette. The headlight conversion is around $1200 for the good set and that's not including the HID kit. :D

Definitely a nice vehicle as long as the interior doesn't bother you. There is so much you can do with those, enjoy!

A used Vette is probably the best bang-for-buck purchase you can do.

Nice buy, hope to see it nice and clean soon.

I haven't taken too many pictures, but I cleaned her up yesterday.
She blings like a shiny metal now:

It really looks like the paint is in perfect condition everywhere except the wing (which has a couple tiny chips in it). But that's fine because that wing is coming off and I'm putting on the ACI spoiler.

Good call on the spoiler - that thing is hideous. Car looks great though.

Er, I mean, DURR WHY DIDN'T YOU GET A 370Z DURRRRRR

HAHA! I was REALLY turned off by the manager at the Nissan dealership I went to. I walked out of the show room in the middle of signing papers for a new 370z. 5 minutes later, my friend called me and told me he was selling his 2002 Z06... Well, I couldn't pass up the deal! He sold the car before I got the cash up front. I was all set on buying a Z06 at that point. Then that day he sold his, I found this one and test drove it right away. After a good thorough inspection over the car (for mechanical issues) I told him I'll take it and now I have it.

As for the interior, Chevy interiors have never been my favorite. I wish they would have done more with the Corvette or the Trans Am. But what's interesting about the Corvettes is that there's a lot of little things I didn't know about that's just way cool. Like the manual shifter night light. The gauges don't look great in the photo I posted, but at night they're a purple-blue color (not green like the picture shows) and they look really nice. The seats are comfortable, but they don't really hold me well, so I'll likely be getting seats from the C6 Z06.

I definitely liked the 370z interior more. But this Vette's interior is very clean and is a huge step up from my 300zx. The dual zone climate control is kind of cool. I don't know how much sense it makes in a tiny cab like the Vette's but still quite interesting. The radio sounds good, but I'll likely be changing the entire Bose system system out for a Pioneer AVIC system. There's OEM looking Double-Din bezels I can get for it.

I gave her a nick name on Tuesday.... "Zox" :)

nice to know someone else thinks like i do. right now im looking for an 07 or 08 z06 for under 50k, if my license is back and i havent found one, im going with the z. so its a win win situation...



and you got luck man. really nice car except for the spoiler. haha

Car looks even better, great color also and seems to be in perfect condition. The rear spoiler definitely needs to go.

Yep. The new spoiler is $500 so I need to save for a couple weeks. The old spoiler is ugly, but nothing was going to stop me from getting this car. It's in REALLY good shape. The wheels (which have finally grown on me) are in excellent shape. And the interior is clean... No rips.

Nice car. Congratulations.

Thanks... She's been unbelieveable... Since I've had her, girls have been coming up to me instead of me going up to them... I'd hate to say the car is doing all the work for me, but it is. :D

So does this mean you have to WORK more? ;)

Great looking Z06. I would drive it! :tup:
