Hello all,

last week I traded my 95 vert in on a 2004 Z06 with only 10k miles. She's nearly perfect and I love her. Everything works (which means a little more when you own a C4 I've gathered) and I had no idea a completely stock car could be this fun! I'm leaving her as is for now, with only a couple small modifications, because she is so nearly new after I gave her a few hours of attention cleaning over the weekend. I'll get a C6 shifter and maybe some sort of better air intake system. I just wanted to say hi and introduce my new lady. The C4 forums have been so helpful and I'm sure the C5 sections will be just as useful. Sorry for the not so great photo's from the evening I picked her up. She doesn't even have any rock chips on her anywhere besides one on the license filler. Does anyone know the car? I can't be sure but I believe she cam from Florida but there is also another state smog type test results in with the paperwork.

Welcome to the C5 wing of the asylum...

Welcome!! I came from a C4 as well and it's a pretty amazing transition. Enjoy!

How do you like the shorter antenna? They look cool but, do they bring in stations like the OEM antenna?

Congrats and welcome to the forum. You certainly picked the best color. I can say that because I own the twin to your car.....

Great looking car. 10K miles is a heck of a find too.

Good find, nice. I'd ditch that antenna, but yes; the reception even in town suffers. That said I do not use my radio.

Very intelligent color choice...enjoy your new ride.




I daily drive mine...simply a fantastic car.

Welcome! You got the second best color there is!

Speedway white is first, everything else is second

Welcome new guys!!! Torch red is the best.....for me.

jerkyboy

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I listened to the radio!! Pandora or Itunes for me

Welcome, the shifter is the only thing I would change, leave the antenna, and the stock air filter works just fine until you go nuts with mods.

Welcome and enjoy your new ride. I always liked yellow, but I love my black '02.

zdeckich

I second that! And welcome.

Thank you everyone for the kind welcoming comments. All Z's are sexy, whatever the color. I wasn't really looking when this car basically chose me. Then I drove it and that sealed the deal. I didn't let it out of my sight until I was leaving with her. I've had time to detail her and I can't find a single paint chip anywhere on her. I love this car and I'm still making excuses to drive...anywhere.

Congratulations on your new girl. Awesome cars for sure. I just crossed the 10k mile mark on my '04Z last weekend. (Bought the car two years ago with 6900 miles.)

I have a shorty antenna myself. Works great, although ive never put the stock one on. To be honest, i use one of those FM reciever/transmitters that takes over a radio station and had a headphone jack most of the time but when i do listen to the radio it works fine.

From one new guy to another - welcome! Love your new car...looks like you got a good one. After some internal debating w/ myself, I ended up going with black on my '03. Have loved every minute of it - and you will too.

Cheers!
