Congrats on the Z06

Here is some good info on your car: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...004/index.html

Looks like a well kept unmolested Z.

You did really good. I bought the same car last year. MY 2004 Z with 56K miles, but I paid 23K.






Congrats on the car, have fun, and be safe.

Thanks. I bought it at a dealer.

That's a sweet looking ride! What's the name of that rear spoiler you got on? I am thinking about adding the Tiger Shark spoiler to it.

... "Wow", this must be a cycle for buying Yellow Vettes, my good friend just bought his first Corvette last month and it was a yellow 04' Z/06. And by the way OP, welcome to the FRC club as well, nice ride, my first car was yellow and have always had a soft spot for the color !!!......

The spoiler is made by ACI. You can get it either painted or unpainted.

Hey guys,
Do you recommend having the transmission fluid change with 46K?
I am thinking about taking it to the dealer and have it service oil change and transmission fluid. This is my first c5 and I am not comfortable doing it myself.
