Your Z06 looks to be in mint condition. Congrats on your first Vette and hope it gives you many miles of driving pleasure.

Bought my first vette yesterday. Maybe paid too much but the car sold me the minute i saw it. 2002 Z06, 11k miles, perfect condition. Torch red, all stock except 3.91 rear with hardened shafts, red/black interior, intake and dino tune by vette doctors, 376 rwhp. Paid 28k but the car is showroom condition.
Good deal on getting 'America's only sports car' !! It's the right model and color, but I'm biased !!

I bought a 2004 C-5 about three weeks ago. Already drove it over 1500 miles. My lady and I really like this car. It does everything so much better than any other car I have owned. We are glad we bought it.

You paid what you thought was fair for a low mile car just like I did. Every time I drive mine I NEVER feel like I overpaid!!
Congrats, welcome to the club and don't forget to wave!!

A happy man never gets old, from an old Vietnamese expression.
I say, you can never have enough reminders to count your blessings .
Looks like you have both well covered. Congratulations on your buying decision.

Now, with those hardened shafts; you just have to SuperCharge it! Your C5 Z will then have more power, and weigh less, than the C7's. You know what that means!!!
C5 Corvette rocks. You'll love it.
