Default My new 2002 Z06!1

Thought Id drop this pic here - I really like it.

This car is... fricking nuts!!! I've had it for 2 weeks, and I'm starting to learn how she likes to be driven. Winding it out in 3rd gear on the freeway last night, up to 90mph, from 40 mph, in a matter of seconds, was super fun. This thing is super solid and tight, and I have a new appreciation for American manufacturing! It feels like I can't hurt this thing, its so solid.

Anyways, looking forward to being a part of this community - cheers!

Thought the same a few months back when I got mine... Took it on the freeway and nailed it and sent to myself "This car is sick!" Hence the plate...lol

Looking for one I sold my 996tt and find myself looking for another C5 Z06 to drive on the street, ever since mine turned into a full race ST1 car I've missed it. Love how livable these things are to drive everyday. Simple and reliable!
Oops meant to post this in the "what did you do to your c5z06" thread. Congrats on the Z ! Looks like a great car

Nice find congrats! Stock or any mods? These cars are a lot of fun, pulling 3rd gear up to 90 from a freeway on ramp always makes me smile .

90 in 3rd?? you still got a little more mph in it
I believe 3rd will touch 99-100, of course once you get used to it

intake/headers/CAM/tune & stomping the gas in FOURTH @ 90 mph having it pull like it does in 2nd @ 40 will make you smile even more.....;-)

congrats! Now its winter so go spend some $$$ on mods - get rid of that antenna for a stumpy one, swap the shifter for a short throw, CAI & a tune would be my first mods (and I took possession of bone stock '03 Z w/ 11900 miles on it 4 years ago so I know how you feel!)

New tires too if you have stockers on there
