Default Question for Z06 owners -

I just purchased a new 2003 Z06. In the owners manual there is a Z06 tire guage and a space for something else (like a pen). Does anyone know what goes in the other space? Did anything come with yours? :confused:

the tire gauge.....

Yeah, it was a pen. Some of the Corvette Accessory vendors listed here carry replacement sets but not sure if they stock just the pen. You may want to email a few of them. Good luck and congrats on the car; welcome aboard!! :cheers:

Thank you for the replies. I thought a pen should be there. The dealer is telling me they did not come with one. Does your pen say "Z06" like the tire gauge?

Yes the Pen says Z06 and it matches the tire gauge. If the dealer refuses to give you the pen you might have better luck if you call GM customer assistance. The number is in your owners manual.

I know this is a minor detail. I did call GM Customer Service, who forwarded it back to the dealer. I just didn't appreciate the dealer blowing it off by telling me it didn't come with a pen. I consider it as a 50th anniversary collector item.

I bought my Z06 second hand, I am missing the pen also! I hear it writes faster than any other pen in its class.

On my pen, the clutch pedal stays on the floor. I have tried high temp ink to no avail.

I am waiting for GM to recall it or I will sue.

I'd return the car without the tire gauge. OK maybe not. I've heard the pen doesn't write that well in block letters, but when it comes to writing cursive, WATCH OUT!

I think with the Z06, they replace the flashlight with the tire gauge.

Stuff like this shows up on ebaymotors.com - click on Manuals and Literature, the enter "Corvette 2003" in the search function.
