Default New Purchase And New To Forum!

Hey guys, I picked up the new project vehicle this past Thursday. It's an absolute blast to drive, 2003 50th Anniversary ZO6 in Millinium Yellow. It has a little over 18,000 miles and was purchased from a Chevrolet dealership in New Jersey. I took some pictures with my cousin who owns a 2001 Quicksilver ZO6, hope you enjoy!

Welcome, happy for you that you were able to find the right (BEST) color!!! As your cousin will find out shortly, Yellow is the fastest as well.

What are your plans for the car??

Congrats and welcome! I'm sure you'll totally enjoy the heck out of that car! I know I enjoy my black one... which of course, REALLY is the fastest color! I also read someplace that vettes with the BSM (body side mouldings) are faster too! So you got that going for ya!

Haha, yes, I think he now realizes that Millenium Yellow was the fastest production Corvette made! As for plans, right now I'm enjoying the vehicle STOCK, I came from a heavily modified BMW M3, GT35R Turbo and such, made 440 RWHP! The BMW was a blast however I was beginning to feel that I was preoccupied with looking at gauges, concerning myself with noises that I thought I heard etc., it became more of a worry then having enjoying the vehicle for what it was intended to do. I'm sure as the time goes by, my plans will grow and modification will begin on the LS6!

Thank you sir, I really have to blame him on this purchase. I drove his
ZO6 two weeks ago and found myself with my ZO6 two weeks later. Such a fun vehicle, really a pleasure to drive!

Thank you, I enjoy both the BSM on the vehicle or without! You cannot change an amazing vehicle, I would of purchased any year ZO6 in any color and any options! This forum has been a pleasure to roam and I hope to become as involved as I am on the BMW forum. Thank you for all the kind words!

Congrats! I think I might have seen that car in person, did you buy it from Classic Chevrolet? I was there looking at two black 03 & 04 Zs and saw a MY/red Z in the corner.

Electron Blues are the fastest. The high energy electrons give the engine another 50rwhp that is not advertised

LOL....

Well see this ad on the side...



Notice that the car is driving so fast, that the electron blue paint job is being stripped away to reveal the true secret to its speed.

Its underlying MY paint job.

You are 1/2 right. It's actually driving in reverse and revealing the EB. Close though!

Take some pics of the seats. It looks like they are mod red. How do you like it with the yellow?
