Default New Z06 owner... tomorrow

I am hopefully buying a black 02 Z06 tomorrow. It is in Thomasville GA. I am told Aaron Scott did all of the work on it. It is boosted and I was hoping to find out info on it before the purchase. Anyone know Aaron? Or the previous owner? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, Bradley and congratulations on your pending Z06!
Sorry - I'm not familiar with this car or tuner.
You might want to also post your question in a couple of the categories within the C5 section. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1997-2004-2/
Best wishes with getting the info you need.

Bradley, are the photos old? That car is very nice, but it doesnt show any type of forced induction "boost".

I am assuming it must have some turbos hidden underneath or the guy has no idea what he is talking about. It is at a car dealership after all. I will find out tomorrow morning. Thanks for the replies.

I don't think this car has forced induction of any kind based on the photos.

Where the air cleaner mounts to the panel, also the entire intake duct setup wouldn't hold boost. It would blow apart before the 1st gear was ready to shift.

Ask the seller a few pointed questions before you waste your time.

I met Aaron Scott back in 1999 at Gordon Killebrew's house for a 2-day seminar for the C4 ZR-1, which was also in conjunction with a ZR-1 Owner's Registry bash at the NCM....Be thankful that someone as competent as Aaron did the work on your car. That guy lives and breathes Corvettes, an extremely nice guy in my opinion.
