Last November I paid 19K for a dead stock perfect condition 02 Z with 45K miles at a dealer. They had it listed at 24900 but they had it for a long time and going into winter in Montana he was willing to deal some. This was a second Corvette for me and I set it up as a dedicated autocross car, my other Vette is a 2014 Stingray. my first impressions of the C5 was that the steering wheel was HUGE and the throw on the shifter is like driving a Mac truck! But about 10K later it's an autocross monster!

Curious what you guys decided. Yep...all Z06's stock are stick. You could find one w mod red if the one you are looking at doesn't work out. Hope you guys get it...you will both enjoy it!

decided to pass - when it came down to the wife parting with the money she was hesitant - dealer came down to $21K which is still a little high in my opinion - problem is it would be a daily driver for her (she puts less than 10K a year on a car) - dealer knows what $$ we were looking to get it at so they may come back if its sits while - in no hurry and now I have the green light to look for a sports car for her

I think the fuel filter was put in the gas tank midway into the 03 year. I've got an early model 03 and, thankfully, the filter is outside the tank. Much easier to replace.

I purchased a Black 2003 ZO6 with a similar cam setup/tuned exhaust and 100hp nitrous, with new tires and other nice mods, had 57000 miles in absolutely primo condition for a negotiated $20,500. But, I was looking for a car with some "Getty up." I though it was a heck-of-a-deal. And I'm very happy with the car after a few thousand miles.
