Default Just purchased a Z06

Finally pulled the string on buying a Z06. Took 2 months to find the right one. Purchased from a fellow in NC. It's a 2003/Black/Black/7000 miles/show room condition. $34K......thought this was a real good price? Didn't think I would ever own a vette with all this computerize stuff, but I am enjoying it so far. Don't worry, I still have the 71. Until the wife wises up and make me sell it.

I have an 02 Z as well.Great cars.Who would of thought 30 years ago you could have bonestock 12 second car with a smooth idle, air conditioning and all the creature comforts.Very smooth around town but the power is always there at a twitch of the throttle.
My 80 is still my favorite Vette though.What she doesnt have in performance the 80 makes up for with stlyle and looks.
Have fun.Enjoy it.

I sold my 03 Z for about the same $ a few months ago. They are an unreal ride! I sold mine and bought a 71 LT1 and a 73 LS4 coupe. I miss it sometimes but there is just something special about these C3's. Put it in comp mode and let the shaft out once! Good luck, Brent

Congrats on the Z06, sounds like you got a good deal.

Love my 04 for longer trips where we can enjoy performance and comfort while still driving a Corvette!
