Well fellas, i've been waiting to post this for a month now. Just didn't wanna do it untill i had it in my driveway. 4 months ago i was on the look out for a specific car, one made in 2001 with low miles and a certain limited color

A month ago i found what i was looking for....in Vegas. I had already set the dates for my leave (stationed in japan) and knew i would be visiting North Dakota for the month of Aug. I only needed to swing 2plane tickets to get to Vegas.

Without further ado, i give you my 2001 Speedway White Corvette Z06, 1owner, 30,400miles and in nearly perfect condition. Oh and i got it for 24large, i couldn't be happier.










my old man lol




front/mirror spandex bra set i got for the road trip back






and i just had to lol



the road trip was roughly 24hrs and JESUS, doing that straight though is insane. The scenery was beautiful but i'll never do a trip that long again. We got to put the vette through its paces while in Colorado going through nearly EVERY ski resort town there It's a bit dirty and needs to be cleaned but i'm finally home. After sitting that long in the car, you would think i'd have a complaint about the ride; as i've never even driven a c5 before, but nada guys. The ride is incredibly smooth everyhwere given the type of car it is and just awesome.

STUPID HAPPY

 

Already being shipped is the CAGS shift skip eliminator and c6 lowering bolts from Zips.

 

congrats!!!

 

Anyone whose done his homework to scope out a nice clean 01 SW Z06 is not a noob

Grats on the ride!

 

I hope my wife doesn't see this thread... ever since I bought our Black '02Z, she has been telling me how badly she wants a white one.

Nice find!

 

Congrats and welcome

 

Nice man.. Not too fond of the White cover though....

I just picked up a 01 Z Myself

 

Wow i'm super jealous. I looked for a SW 01 but was just too impatient and jumped on the best deal local for a black/silver one. Ended up with an QS 02...but deep down inside wish it was white .

 

Nice find. Is that a carmax plate I saw. Is that where you found it ? I know you will enjoy. Congrats.

 

Good on ya mate! 30 k how many now after the 24hr trip? 3000 rpm 120 mph , feelin' good, That 1st to 4th shift sucks.

 

Thanks all for the comments, appreciate it. I was on here for nearly 2months before buying the Z and reading any and everything i could about the 01's and how hard it's been for ALOT of people to find one. Took a total of 4months and 1belly up deal to find, but i found it at CarMax in Henderson NV through their AutoTrader ad.

I called immediatley and spoke with Michelle, asking if there was anything i could do so she could hold it until i got to the states. Long story short she was god sent and i'm now the proud owner of what you see here.

Future plans are DEF some new wheels, been pondering the comp grey spyders for a while now. I'll find someone locally to try a vinyl job (and tint) i've been curious about....the lower rear bumper in a satin black vinyl wrap, so if i don't like it i can peel it off; without paying that outragous price for some piece of plastic. I'm going with Kooks headers hiflow cats/xpipe and some GHL Bullets. In the next day or so i'll be ordering the c6z06 shifter assembly/**** instead of an actual short throw "kit," being its DD and i'm not lookin to have an uber notchy shifting experience.

aaaand that about wraps up the mods for right now. Oh ya forgot a stealth box and speaker upgrades, but thats way later.

 

oh and it's now up to 31,990....

 

nice ride, what do you do at misawa and are you shipping the z there??

 

Congrats, I would think it will be very interesting driving a ZO6 in Japan.

 

I'm an F16 crew chief and no i don't plan on moving it there. I'm actually do to move to Shaw, South Carolina in Oct. Which is why this entire ordeal worked out so well. My leave, getting the Z and the move to Shaw in 2 months.... awesome.

 

you'd be surprised man, really. Some of the cars out there are pretty
