Should be a good learning curve...LOL
I bought a similar car, tons of nice stuff and almost all of it needing attention, but the price reflected that. got all of it taken care of and its a great car.
If its running super rich get it tuned/fixed so your not just washing the cylinders down.

Nada retail for a proper 2001 Z06 is $19,500. My guess is you paid $15-16K with those mods

Oh yes it matters, now you've went and ask us what we think you paid for it.

If you're happy that's all that matters. Personally, I don't think you can ever pay too much if it's what you want and you're happy.
