First time z06 c5 owner :)
Got the c5z into the garage, now waiting on the car cover from noha
I have been wanting this exact car in the same color and build as this, but I was not out looking to buy yet. I found a cool guy on Craigslist selling original 300zx wheels with tires for 180 bucks... so I could sell my old nissan. Garage lifts up and this z06 is chillin, I asked if it was for sale and he said "sure", the wheels cost me an arm and a leg.
Lol... woot! Oh and it's so so fast, I finally punched it through 1st and second and my gosh am I happy. It will be very well taken care of.

(I'm a former educator I can't help myself)Regarding the safe use of the power, if you have the time, $$ and "permission" get thee to an HPDE with a required instructional component. You will not believe how much better a driver you become, and REALLY what that car is capable of! Number 1 is FUN!
