Love the car, love the color but I'm pretty bias towards yellow. Just picked up an '02 myself about 5 months ago. Though, winter has set in so it's parked for the year.

Hey man . Sweet Z and amazing price for low low miles! One thing.. if you are going ported new FAST, you will get way more bang for your buck getting your 243 heads CNC'd by Trick Flow or several other reputable shops. Cost will be close. FAST after C/H with tune will make the FAST investment financially worth while HP wise!



Did you own a C6Z or C5Z before?

gonna port heads later. hurts pocket book to do everything at once.

I had a yellow 07, cam cold air tune fast 102 and tb. Car mad stupid power, 549 to the wheels. Did consistent 10.76-10.89. Had to sell it cause I was off work for 17 months. I got hurt at work. I loved the car but did not wanna spend another 50k on a z then another 15k on upgrades. 25k for an 02 with 6thousand miles is ok with me. Looking for 450-460 to the wheels and drive the crap out of it.

I miss my 07 so much. I got hurt at work tore my ACL, MCL, cartilage, and meniscus, and was off of work for 18 months. Just got back to work and OT is plenty. I needed to get rid of the 700 dollar a month car payment. I rather sell the car than lose my house. I wanted another c6 but money wise, 25k is better than 50k. I am very happy with the c5 and love driving it. I would prefer to get an 08 z06 but for the difference of money I WILL BE OK.

I spent 10K on my motor upgrades and got it to 470 with a probably less than optimized setup. Unless you will race it, I would say go 92/92 if you can, not 102/102. While I love my 102/102 setup, it does lead some to be desired below 2000 rpm, plus idle sucks if the tune doesn't like the air.

I would skip the fast intake and the tune, and spend the extra money on a supercharger/headers...I am over 630 at the crank and the car drives great..zero issues

Pure power, the C6. The C5 handles great just like the C6, creature comforts the 07 was a little better. 07 had navigation, heated seats, the hatch was bigger you could put a little more junk in there. But bang for buck, c5 better for me. Plus don't flame me, but I never heard of the C5s having valve issues. C6s had their fair share of bullzhit problems.

Gonna keep this one for a while, will get back with hp numbers next week.
