I'm in the same boat. Picked up mine at 24.

Did you box up the polished wheels?

Car is gorgeous, how many miles? I just crossed 76k on mine. Put 30k on it in the past two years.

31, 2004 EB Z06 with 25K.

First Corvette I've owned. Always been a GM fan and in love with the C5's since they came out. Still my top choice for body style.

I bought my 02 Z06 when I was 22, always wanted one and saved up for a while to get it. Not my daily driver, dedicated fun car.

Sure there is not something you missed? 😂
Very nice setup. Many similarities to mine but I'm only pushing 12 lbs. of boost, making about 750hp. Still in progress though.

750 is really a sweet spot for these cars. I'll probably take the 2.85 pulley off and go back to a 3.25-3.4 after a few events that will make 750-800. Parts always breaking gets old.

Yeah, there is a point that just makes you say, is it worth it? I like driving my car and working on it, but I'll have to say that the driving part is definitely more fun. I would never let anyone else touch my ride with a wrench. Success or fail, it's all on me.
