Z06 Purchase
I sold my Z28 last year, and finally found a replacement. It seems only fitting it should be replaced with a Z06. Its a 2001 with 26,000 miles and is basically stock. I'm trying to resist the mod bug and get more familiar with the car, then decide what I want to do with it.
I bought the car from another forum member, and I am having a blast with it. I know this thread is useless without pics, so I'll include one.

Congrats, i knew it was an 01 just by looking at those darker colored z06s. Which just looked so good i now have some on my 02.
<--- came from fbodys also. I still got my 92 but my gf drives a 00. There are just no comparisons, the vette is a better car all the way around in every department.

Welcome to the club! 
You may want to look into lowering the car all the way down on the factory bolts...it's free if you have a floor jack and some basic tools. It should drop the car down about 3/4", close up the wheel well gap a bit, and have no adverse effect on the ride. Just a suggestion...
