Default Finally my 1st vette!

Well after many years of wishing and wanting i finally landed my first vette and couldnt be happier. its a 2003 EB Z06 30k miles on her. Ive been searching around for almost 2 years for the right one and everytime i thought i was almost there something would come up and put my vette plans on hold. well not anymore im very proud to finally have one and know it will be giving me thrills for years to come! sorry about the crappy pic took it on my phone, high-red pics soon to come. plan to add either kooks or LG Pro headers, borla cat-back, fast intake, patriot heads and of course a cam. already has a blackwing intake but otherwise stock for now.

Well you certaintly picked a potent example to be your first one!
Congrats on the car!

I'm surprised you went with a ZO6 given your plans to swap out the heads/cam. The good news is you can get some money for those LS6 heads selling them to someone else...when the time comes.

Enjoy!!
