hello...been a member for a few years and now i am able to afford a 2003 corvette Z06..has under 30k on the clock and is really really clean.100% bone stock.carfax came back really clean as well. how much of a difference will i see going from a 1994 Dodge Stealth R/T twin turbo BPU++ to an 2003 Z? i am super excited for this..from what i read the 03 Z's are the ones to try to own is that correct?

Yes, you will see a difference between the two cars. I own a 2003 C5Z and love it but I don't think the 03 is any better than the other years. They are all Good.

You will notice a very significant difference between the two. When I was looking at purchasing a vette myself first I drove a bone stock Z and then I drove a coupe Z51 and the Z was a lot more fun I must admit. However I couldn't pass up the glass top so I ended up with a coupe that will soon be supercharged. Had to have the best of both worlds. Good luck with your new ride and you are right about that year Z as the 2001s had the crappy heads.

Try BPU++ on this car and it will REALLY wake up.

lol when i was right out of high school working at a chevy dearlship i remember at the time the 01 z's were just coming out and i would drool over those then in 02 slight more "hp ratings" and i would clean the cars if there were not even dirty.dont get me wrong i love my stealth awd aws and twin turbos..but 8 years with the same car that i have maybe put 30,000 miles on is starting to wear thin on me..esp since parts are getting really hard to find for em
here are some pics of my current car

It is definately a sweet looking car. The color leaves a little to be desired for me but I also am not a fan of bright colors on cars. To each his own. I like the updated nose and headlights though plus overall it is pretty clean ride.

thanks man its actually a stock color only offered for 94 and 95 years only...only 924 tt cars were made and due to age and so on its down to below 500 or so.. fun cars when they run right..lol..front end is from the 1999 3000gt ..just bumper and headlights..so its all OEM hood is a ViS evo hood.7 years old and still looks like new

Would probably look mean with an all black paint job.

One big difference I have noticed coming from a turbo car is that corvettes seem to run well all the time provided that they are tuned accordingly for the BPU stuff. Believe me when I say you did a great job of making that color look good. I think that black top and rear diffuser help offset it along with the gunmetal wheels. Just curious what color Z06 did you get?

You did a nice job on the Stealth and buying the Z......Learn to drive it stock before you start wrenching it...... It's a true sports car..


Oh Yeah......easy to work on, parts readily available and lots of aftermarket stuff out there......

I've driven lots of DSM cars, and I can tell you the difference between a Stealth and a Z06 in every aspect is simply a new class. You're moving up a few classes. You're going to love it.

Edit: BTW, I like that Stealth. Looks pretty clean. I was more a fan of the 3000GT's looks, but I think you really made it work.

its the quicksilver color

i got my deal sheets faxed to me yesterday just have to give them to my bank and have the check sent to the dearlship and then have it shipped to my business or house depending on when the truck gets into town.

the 01 had the exact same heads as the 02-04, the difference comes from the extra cats, the milder cam, and slightly heavier valves
