Nice Z...

The tires look like GY F1SC, which were the OEM tires for the Z. If those are the originals, I would like to also replacing those as well, since they will be 11 years old.

Beautiful ride.
That's probably one of the most valuable C5s out there. Good catch.

Very nice! C5's are just an awesome car. Glad you are back. As far as the guy that asked what you paid for it I just don't get it! It's never anybody's business what you paid for anything. I was always taught if they don't say don't ask.
