First time z06 c5 owner :)
Got the c5z into the garage, now waiting on the car cover from noha
I have been wanting this exact car in the same color and build as this, but I was not out looking to buy yet. I found a cool guy on Craigslist selling original 300zx wheels with tires for 180 bucks... so I could sell my old nissan. Garage lifts up and this z06 is chillin, I asked if it was for sale and he said "sure", the wheels cost me an arm and a leg.
Lol... woot! Oh and it's so so fast, I finally punched it through 1st and second and my gosh am I happy. It will be very well taken care of.

Fuel guage has that failure, reads no gas but was on full... read all about it on the forum, other than that not really any issues at all.

Lol I had a nissan 300zx, I don't miss it one bit. Haha. Yes, safely enjoy the power... I realize this is a dangerous machine indeed.

(I'm a former educator I can't help myself)Regarding the safe use of the power, if you have the time, $$ and "permission" get thee to an HPDE with a required instructional component. You will not believe how much better a driver you become, and REALLY what that car is capable of! Number 1 is FUN!
