Default New '01 owner checking in!

Hello CorvetteForum! I just wanted to say hello as I’m a new member who just purchased a Z06. It’s a ’01 with 20K miles, bone-stock, black. I love it so far and hope to have pictures posted soon (to add to all the other pictures of stock cars ). I must admit that I’ve been quite a Japanese car fan for much of my life with my ’03 S2000 being the best “rice-burner” I’ve ever owned. However, I do believe that the C5-Z06 is best bag-for-the-buck, in terms of performance and looks, that anyone can get! . I’m looking forward to gaining much knowledge about the car from all the great wisdom of the members here!

Later,
Jcraven

The 01s are special to me--first year for the Z06 since 1963--only year for the 385 h/p--enjoy and cruise with safety in mind--
