Default New owner from Ga.

Ive been reading this forum for about 6 months trying to learn and gather as much info as I could on a c5 Z,I decided to start getting my ducks in a row and started my search.

I sold my beloved 93 ssp mustang and my 00 Lightning to be able to purchase a Z.So after about a month of looking I bought one this past saturday.

I bought a 31K 04 commerative Z.I took with me what I learned on here when I went to look at the car.All the info on here is priceless and I want to thank all of the other members for such great info that they pass on to others who are thinking about purchasing or who are about to purchase their first Z06.

My car is all stock down to the air filter,the interior is perfect and just a few blemishes on the outside.I admit I did miss the mustang and the lightning but now im all smiles and looking for excuses to drive my Z.

The wife and I are going to take some pics sometime this week and I will get some posted.Thanks for a great forum.

Thanks,Donnie

Congrats on the Z and I don't think you'll miss the stang or the lightning after a couple days behind the wheel of that Vette. Vette ownership is kinda special especially ZO6 ownership.
