Picked up a 2003 Torch Red Z06 with 36k miles on it about 3 months ago from Nelson Lamborghini of Ohio.... car is in Florida now...


This is my first Vette personally, my parents have owned about 6-7 over the years and my Step Mom is currently driving a 98 pace car.


The car is torch red over black leather.
LG Street Long Tubes w/ Metal Matrix cats and X-pipe
Vararam intake
MSD plug wires
a custom tune by Eric at Lamborghini Ohio
lowered on stock bolts
and a painted rear bumper section.
Car is making 382rwhp.

and it's getting some Yellaterra 1.8 rockers while I research and put together a cam project!


Anyways, here are some pics taken by my friend Ashley and edited by me! Comments and criticism are welcome!!!

Thanks guys!! The car really is incredible, more fun than anything else I've ever driven!! I started with a Honda back in the day, then moved on to a BMW M3, and now I know what a car is supposed to feel like!

Unfortunately I don't think I'll make the race in Ohio, I'm currently living in South Florida for school. Should be moving back to Ohio sometime late 08 though

Default Welcome...

Welcome, and great looking TR Z06! Good photos too.
I like the look of the blacked out rear facia on TR, not sure how it would look on my EB Z06...

Nice...

Did you have that tint performed or was it already done when you bought it?

Thanks again guys!!



The tint was already done when I bought it. I think it's about 50%, not too dark.



I really need to get out and take some more photos, I'm going to try to find some time this week
