Default New owner after 8 years!

Well after 8 long years of hoping, dreaming, looking, researching, just missing out and salivating , I finally bought a C5 Z06. I bought Rob's (robls6) 2003 Millenium Yellow Z06 2 weekends ago, and I love it. It makes great power with the professional mods he has done to it (cam, long tubes, intake, tuning) but drives so nice and smooth. I will be doing a few appearance mods (C6 shift ****, floor mats, etc.) but there really isn't much to be done to this car. It's a beast and a beauty at the same time. Thanks Rob for the great experience and for such an amazing car!

The chrome wheels look good against yellow.

Nice ride!
