Default New owner saying Hi

Hey everyone...wanted to introduce myself. New owner here with a 2003 z06, only 3700 miles. Changed every fluid possible and have zero leaks or concerns. Runs and looks like new. Very happy to be here from the SW Florida area.

Yeah no doubt on that...found it from a private collection in a temp controlled environment. Tires are factory type but not the originals. Checked em and they are from 2007 so they've been replaced but I'm still getting new ones.

Sweet! That was definitely worth the time in finding the right one. Was there any luck involved?

Welcome to the C5Z06 group! Had my 02 since new and it's pushing 17000 miles.
