New 2002 Z06 owner!

Hey guys, thought I'd post up, just got ahold of a 2002 Z06 Vette. Car has a cold air intake on it from the original owner, but other then that , its stock! Thought I'd just stop in and say hi and show some pics!

Car might look a tad dusty from the wax dust or the tree, but in person it gives a mirror reflection and smooth!

I came from the world of 3000GTs/Stealths, it feels sooo different.

If by different you mean better you would definitely be correct.

Haha, for sure! This car is a completely different kind of animal, it makes my old TT stealth feel barbaric. I think my old stealth was faster in a straight line (for now), but it was so heavily modified that it just became a hassle. I'm so happy to have a car that is simple, fast, clean, and wont potentially break something new every other week.

You have no idea.... That damn thing spits white petals everywhere! Once it's done with that it's not so bad, my neighberhood has a ton of cats so the birds don't live too long in the tree. No birds, no birdpoop on my car.

Your exhaust tips look like mine did when I bought my Z, get some metal polish and a towel and work at them for a long while and they will shine!

I used Mothers Aluminum polish, worked great.
