Finally A Corvette Owner!!!
Went and picked her up yesterday. 8,174 original miles, immaculate condition. Long tubes, ram air, x pipe, high flow cats less than a month or two old on the car. Runs great. Got a great deal I hope at $22.5k.... Original tires suck and she spins through all of first and most of 2nd. Did a 60 punch on the interstate with my buddies 2015 Scat Pack Challenger and pulled about a car on him at about 90.... Anyway, very excited and all I need to do is get a tune on it to disable the rear O2's to pass emissions.

... I don't know why they call it a "scat pack", I mean you do know what scat stands for right??

Whoa I'm envious. I just picked up a totally clean and bone stock 04 Z with 66k for $21.5k. You stole that thing. Don't get me wrong I do love mine but I seriously doubt one in town will appear with those miles....anytime soon.

Welcome to the club! Great price, I paid $4000 more for my 2002 with similar mileage. Be aware that 2003 Z06 are prone to having fuel tank crossover tube leakage, and that is a $2500 fix from what I understand. Definitely replace the tires too. CAGS skip shift eliminator is a must, as well as an LCM5 module to prevent column lock. I also highly recommend Fangs from Sac City Corvette.
Congrats!!!

Very nice car and an even better price for it..... don't listen to the "chicken little's" on the forum talking about all the "issues" w the different year C5's.... Not all C5's are prone to any particular issues... GREAT FIND!
