Just bought a 2002 Z06 a couple of weeks ago.

It's black with the black/red interior, 13k miles, and is in showroom condition.

I've had quite a few performance cars, including a 2004 LS1 C5 that I had for a little while. I've lurked here for a long time, but never registered.

I'm pretty much a track *****, and have been drag racing on a regular basis since I was a teenager. I plan on running the new car in Houston this coming weekend.

I've added Nitto DR's and did the zip-tye mod with a K&N filter that came off of a 2002 Z28 that I used to have. It fit perfectly.

Hopefully I'll represent you guys well. I ran consitent 12.8's with my bone stock M6 LS1 C5.


I plan on more mods, so I'll probably have a ton of questions for you guys in the future.


Jason

Welcome to the club and congrats on the purchase of your Z! You will love your car...I've had mine for about 2 1/2 years and couldn't be happier. It is my first Corvette and my dream car and I still remember the feeling of driving it home and pinching myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

I'm happy for ya man!

Have fun at the track and remember to use Competitive mode so that you can smoke the hides but still have AH to save you just in case!
