Yes it is. The break-in period is now over so it is time to drive it like you stole it!

You must be 70 something years old. That's whats wrong with these vette forums.

Don't feel to bad, it took me almost 13 years to hit 100k. And you know it was still as much fun to drive as the first day, maybe even better because I wasn't as worried about every little nick and bug splat.

That would put more miles on her and she is already over her allocated mileage!

If by rare you mean every 2003 Z06 to roll off the line then yes, it's rare.

I considered saying that, but didn't

No Z06s were Anniversary Editions, so he's absolutely right

Saying "50th Anniversary Z06" indicates that somebody believes it to be a special edition, and there was no special edition Z06 in 2003.

ALL 2003 Corvettes got the 50th Anniversary badging, but it doesn't mean anything...

That's really uncalled for and actually pretty rude. I'm 30 years below that and only drove mine 2k miles last year. Is that not acceptable in your eyes?
