Default I Got A Z!!!

The search is over. I am finally amongst the lucky ones that have been blessed with owning a Zo6. I found this locally, with 15,000 miles on the clock and the balance of a GMPP warranty. I have only had it since Monday, but so far it is awsome. It's an '01, obviously TR with black interior. No oil consumption problems, as the previous owner had all work performed. It also has new Eagle F1 SC's all around. What do you guys think?


Looks good next to the '75!

What's not to like. I'd recommend two mods right away. Both will cost you a total of about $90. One is for peace of mine (the sterring column lock by-pass) and the other a CAGS eliminator. Both are simple plug and play. The CL by-pass will keep you from being stranded and off the back of a flatbed should the steering column lock fail to un-lock and the CAGS will allow you to control the car not some computer.

I'd bought my CL by-pass from Thunder Racing, here's the link: http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...d=220&pcid=156

From here you can mod or not mod depending on your personal desires.

Welcome to the family.

Cheers

Tom

Congrats!!!

Definitely get the CLB! So many C5 owners don't and then post that they had to have their baby towed to the dealership. It is a well spent $50.

I was MILLIMETERS away from your EXACT TWIN CAR, RED 01, MOD RED etc. I did NOT feel it was worth 32,9(30 MAX) though.

That is a GORGEOUS car...I wish you the best with it.

Congrats! I got my 02 MY ZO6 two weeks ago.

There must be an epidemic of used ZO6's or more people are buying C6's and are selling their ZO6's
