Default New Z06

Hey guys, just wanted to post a few pics of my new (to me) Z06. It's a 02 and had 14,2K on the clock when I got it. My last vette was a 94 Lt1 that was really a great car, but man this "Z" is fantastic!!

Me thinks you'll like the Z a lot better, although the C4 was (is?) nice. Welcome to the Z group........

Congrats on the new ride. Hard to beat a black Z06. I had a black 01. Nothing looks better than a clean black car. Yours looks good. Enjoy!
