Default My first Corvette.

Hello, my name is Elliot and I've been a member here for a while to learn up on Corvettes. I finally found a deal that would work for me. I traded my 2007 S2000 for a 2004 Z06 with 34000 miles. It came from a member on here who traded it to a dealer. I love the car so far, it's a blast! I'm real thankful to be able to afford it when I'm only 19. Maybe I'll see some of you guys around! I only have one crappy cell phone pic for now.

Congrats. Now its time to lower it. Look up lower on stock bolts.

Here is a pic of mine after lowering on stock bolts. I really was easy to do.

Congrats!

If I were you continue to compare the S2000 to the Vette where you can! WHY?

Becuase when others ask about the two different cars, you will have valuable hands on information to share and compare! Just a suggestion!

Let us know when you are ready to make that puppy blast off

Thanks,Matt

Congrats and welcome to the madness!!!

Please be careful. Not trying to stereotype all teens, but I know if I would have had Z06 at your age, I would probably either be in jail now, or not here Even at the stock level , the C5Z has great power.

Have fun and be safe!
