Bought a 2002 Z06
I've had it for a few weeks now, and it's a lot of fun to drive. I bought a 2002 Z06, red, with black interior. It has a new set of OEM tires and brakes, so it's like a new car to me minus some rock chips.
I have two pics of the car up, at
www.psj.ls1tech.com .
I'm already tempted to do bolt-ons, but will hold off a little while longer. But I have an airbox on the way and it's tempting to program the fans to come on sooner.

Congrats to the new owners.
Keep in mind that there is an alternative path to make the car shed ET and that is to get your driving dialed-in. That's generally worth more than the usual bolt-ons.
Just a thought...and obviously a rather obscure one on the board.

LOL, that might be a long wait. I have to swap the heads and cam on the Formy, and then install the 88 mm turbo. I'm hoping it goes 8's on pump gas.
But I do have an airbox on the way for the Z06.
