We found our dream Vette, a 03 Z06 in Silver!!!
Hello All,
We have been looking for a little bit and found what we wanted. We were torn between a 04 Lemans Z06 and a 03 Silver Z06. The silver won out, it is our favorite color and we don't see many of them here in Florida. It is bone stock with the exception of a MGW shifter (far tighter than I expected...and I wasn't confident I found neutral but I did each time).
25K miles, and clean as a whistle! Will do the transaction tomorrow, very excited to be a first time Corvette owner. I drove my bosses 68 to my prom in 1985....and wanted one ever since.
Cheers all! Pictures to follow when I get it.
Quick question, is it normal to not have any slop in neutral with this shifter?

Congrats...and welcome to the asylum!
The MGW is spring loaded side to side, so it always returns to center, which is the 3-4 gate.
