Finally got a vette
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.

First, congrats on finding the car you really wanted. IMHO, the 2002 to 2004 Z06 are among the highest priced C5 Corvettes because they are very desirable and you've got a really low mileage one in a very desirable color. That's all cha-ching, cha-ching. Don't worry about what you paid or what others think about what you paid. If the car is the one you want, your happiness is worth the money.
BUT, it didn't happen unless you post pics!

Price is not an issue if it's really what you want and you feel you can't find another one like it. I've owned my 04 with 66k, only drove it 50 miles in one month that's is long as I've owned it. I can't stop cleaning it lol. Go with corsa exhaust you will really love it

Way to go! Sounds like an awesome car. I never tell anybody how much I paid for anything. You are going to love it. Don't worry about the silly smile on your face every time you drive it. It happens to all of us. Enjoy, have fun, be safe.
