And don't forget to buy yourse4lf a new set of tires if those are still the originals. Even thought they may look like new and have only 5700 miles on them, they are 16 years old and the rubber is dried out and stiff, leading to loss of traction. Tires are your life, so change them. And - nice find, enjoy.

On the way:
SLP Blackwing

Basically just trying to correct what I perceive as "weaker areas" of the car based on the four other C5's I've owned.
That's one great looking Z by the way. After eighteen years of owning Corvettes Yellow has finally grabbed me....

Very nice find!
However, please do something about that mileage - drive it.
