Hi guy's 2002 Z06
I'm looking at getting a 2002 Z06 from a dealer for $22-23K. It has a high comp racing cam in it. I've read to big of a cam makes it run like crap.He don't know exactly how big it is?I heard a video of it,and it sound bad a@@!But that doesn't mean i'll like driving it?I'm to far away to test drive it.He's going to ask his engine guy, what size he thinks the cam is??Then I'll let you guy's know.Should I stand clear of this car??It has 59K miles but has many upgrades!!

How many miles on mods?
Cam? Which? lift/duration? Part #
Lifters/trays?
Pushrods?
Rockers?
Springs/retainers? Were they set up(install height, coil bind checked)? Steel or Ti?
Tune? Who?
Etc etc….If they can't answer some of these simple things, no way in hell Im paying a dealer premium for that car. Got my 04z bone stock for $20k with 16k less miles. Just as a reference. Cream puff/waxer previous owner.
You can get a lot of trouble free/beat the snot out the car miles with a cammed car…but Id want to know it was set up well from the get go. With that car…Id want the details or Id be prepared to go over it on my own dime after purchase, to get the details.
Call me OCD but thats me

An 04 at a dealer is going to be $25k, maybe a little more. An 02 for $22k if the mods are good is a great deal from a dealer.

BTW to the OP. A space or two after punctuation would make reading your post much easier.

Looks like it has headers, intake and a cam... So about $4-5K of parts and labor.
Not a bad deal.
If its going to be your daily driver I wouldnt get a cammed car.. youll get sick of it and it'll become a chore to drive.

YES SiR
Your absolutely thinking what I'm thinking?But I do love this year Z06. Seems to be the best bang for the buck. I've been researching vettes for months and the LS6 seems way ahead of it's time??I mean there just now making faster and better performing base vettes!!12 years later!!It's also a Z06???But for the $20-30K, I'm slightly digging the C5Z over the newer C6's!!I do like GPS system and how the **** pit looks in the C6 better.But I read ken wood makes a few dash GPS systems that fit right into place.
