Nice. Those miles, wow ... I just got mine a couple months ago with 6800k miles and I thought that was super low.

You're going to love it. Now hide your wallet and don't read any threads about "mods" ... don't do it.

Wow!
I just got my QSC5Z06 with 2,400 miles!
Why do these owners buy and not drive?

Good for you! These odometer numbers just knock me out! I hope we can stumble across a second C5 like this some day. Welcome to the flock. You've got a lot of driving to do to get caught up. Also an '02 Vert.

Nice looking vette! Congrats!

I have been considering an '08 also but I just love the C5. I think I will get an MN6 with low miles and have it blown. I'll have the best of everything then!
