Default New z06 owner!

Hi everyone,

Just bought my first corvette. It's a black 03' z06 with 21,500 miles. I'm the second owner, only mod was a corvette exhaust plate and I added a shorty antenna. So far I'm very happy with it, mint condition, only thing it needed was a good detail which I had done a few days ago. I plan on doing H/C/I. Already have mamofied AFR heads, FAST 102 intake, ordered kooks 1 7/8" headers, catted 3" x pipe, and the kooks 3" axle back for it. Can't wait to get the exhaust set up installed!

Here are some pictures after the detail

Oh with those AFR's and a decent cam, 1 7/8 in headers... You'll have the ( stock) C6Z guys scratching their heads as to what just happened..
Gorgeous car!!! totally different animal than your Terminator wouldn't you say?

Tony Mamo is going to spec the cam out for me also so it should run decent. Thanks man, my cobra had 2.6L Kenne Bell and 600hp on pump gas but the z06 does feel a lot different. Just the driving experience feels a lot better than my cobra ever did, and I love how nimble the corvette feels as oppose to the heavy cobra. Definitely excited!

Thank you! Yes, I feel very lucky for getting a z06 in this condition and a one owner car as well, first owner was a doctor.

The chrome wheels look great on a black Z06. Good luck with it.

Nice find. What did you pay? All these lower miles is making me want to find one lower than my current 44k.
