Default New Z06...Hello all!!

It's been three long years since I had to sell my beloved C4 but that wait is over!! I picked up an '03 EB Z yesterday from a local forum member (gfactor). I'm lucky that he took incredible care of this Z and I couldn't be happier. So much different than my C4! The PO set the suspension up for road racing (he is an instructor) and the handling is incredible. The motor is pretty much stock and I think I'll keep it that way for awhile. I'm sure I'll be on here a lot asking questions and hopefully helping others as I become more familiar with it.

Another shout out to a great seller (gfactor). This is the reason I love the forum. There's some great folks on here and it makes me proud to continue to be a part of this community And now for the pic:

Beautiful car. Disturbing avatar.

I too went from a C4 to an '02 Z06. Whole 'nother ball game.

Me too! 94 to 02Z. Amazing difference. Lovely color too.

And a very weird avatar. Hoping that isn't your first road vehicle

Welcome, fellow Virginian, and fellow EB C5Z owner!

Sometime this spring/summer, you should come up to Great Falls for Katies Cars and Coffee! Wouldn't mind parking next to another EB Z

Thanks for the welcome and actually, I was at Katie's this past Saturday with my boy. There certainly a lot of high dollar rides there and it's not every day you see a Lambo Countach! I was only one of two C5 Z's there. Would love to meet up with you there and I'm only about 20 min away. Let me know when you plan on going. Seems like you need to get there at 6:30 to get a decent spot!
