Thanks! Enjoy the car and put some miles on it! thats my plan when this terrible winter is over! This is my 2nd C5. Other is a 99 Nassau Blue Coupe with over 100K on it now. I bought the car the way you see it in those pics. I have receipts totaling 60,000 that all came in 2" thick 3 ring binder with the car, which is insane to me since the car was 53K new! I'll just say I stole this thing from the original owners widow who somewhat knew what she had but just wanted it gone ASAP. I got lucky

Owned a '00 Magnetic Red vert until last October. Sold it and upgraded to an '04 Z with 7k miles. Torch red/ mod red interior. She'll be a garage queen in the winter, and a weekend warrior when weather permits. Ha. Bone stock except for the blackwing I recently installed. Oh, and I'm 28 btw.

Default 7 month bump

So the Q for any of you young guys 18-30, owning Z06, is this...would you be all over a C7 if you could afford it?



Update
Rather than elaborate on this thread, I'll ask you to comment on the new thread I started, same topic.
Good to see the bump did help to keep this thread alive.

I'm 23 got my C5Z at 21. At the time i could've afforded a C6Z but chose my C5Z. Same scenario now that the C7 is out.

I don't think so. Really like the C5's and C6's. Not crazy about the 7's.

Not a young guy but "Emphatically NO". However I would be interested in a C7 if I could put my C5 Z06 body on it. Ha.

How do you afford the insurance?!? My 17 year old stepson pays $185/mo for a 2003 Eclipse GTS and my 19 year old pays $225 for a 2008 Tiburon. Both have clean records with no accidents or tickets. I have checked around and Liberty Mutual is the cheapest insurance we can find.

I'm not 18, but at 23 I do like $800 every 6 months through Farmers. Looking to change it. Might be able to get close to $600 every 6

After owning a C3 for 6 years, i started looking for a C5. I bought my first C5 2 weeks ago.

Stock 02 Torch Red Z06 with 28.5 K miles.

Guess I need to update my signature!
