First time Z owner!
Well after about a year of not having a sports car I finally saved up my pennys and bought me something else. I've always wanted one and found a very good deal on. I drove it back from D.C. about 2 weeks ago. I haven't been able to take any good pictures due to the weather but here is a camara phone pic in front of the WW2 memoral ( which was extremely freakin' cool)
Its an black/black 2003 Z06 that had 36,005 miles when i picked it up. Holy **** I love Tq. This is the first american sports car i've owned. Wow I love it. I should have got one of these instead of putting turbos on a 350Z...
I know its a camara phone but I was just so excitied I had to share!!

Congrats , what a beauty!
I picked up my 1st Z the day before Thanksgiving, an 01, every time I drive it I find a new thrill, even at my old fart age ! Clearly the most exciting Corvette I have owned and in your case hands down beats that 350Z in every category ! Great move on your part...
Black Z06's, I'm not even sure why they made those other colors..
Merry Christmas

Congrats 
I have a Black 03 as well with 30k on the speedo.
What did you give for yours if you don't mind me asking?
Be careful in cold weather (I know)........make sure you read the "Sticky" section.
Ask all the questions you want...........the only stupid question is the one that never gets asked.
Enjoy the new ride..........I doubt you'll ever get tired of it..........I've had mine for over 2.5yrs now..........all I want is more mods....

Dude, your so right this is the right Z!!!!! Thanks guys for all the nice words! My plans are to put a intake and some headers with stock exhaust for this guy. Anyone have that? I just hope its not to loud. I'm also going to tint the windows and lower it a little bit on stock bolts. Man I love this car. I should have bought one of these ALONG time ago!!!!!!!!

I don't mind at all!! I paid 27.5K for this car. He was asking 28.5k for the car but its going need new tires soon. Thanks for the nice words. OMG this thing in the cold is crazy it just goes sideways. Thanks for the heads up! I think I got a pretty good price for the car. Its in really good condition. All it needed was a good cleaning when I bought it. I can't wait to take some polish and some wax to it when it gets warmer.
Thanks again guys, Coming the import world ( 95' Supra, 99 3000gt VR4, 350 Twin Turbo) its a very nice welcome. Its a good feeling!
