Bought First Z06
Been on these threads for a while searching the for sale adds for quite some time until I stumbled across a car I wanted to call mine. I was dead set on a C6 Z but after I saw and rode in this C5 Z, my mind was changed. Luckily enough, I now own it and have had the privelage of driving it for the past few days.
All I can say is WOW! The only problem is I keep wanting to hear that engine roar. I have not even turned on the radio or AC. I drive with the windows down and nothing but that sweet exhaust note to listen to! Who cares that the Corvette radio is crappy, it simply does not matter!
The car has some really nice mods on it and with only 8700 miles, I should be able to run trouble free for a while.
