Default Its finally here

After years of saving and looking I finally purchased a 2002 EB/mod-red Z06 with 37k miles. Its been mildly modified with an aftermarket 8 ball style short shifter, has some borla tips and mufflers, maybe more than that. I haven't gotten under the car yet to examine further, any suggestions on some things to take care of after purchasing one of these, things to check and so forth? Oil was changed by dealership but no clue if they checked the rear-end and such. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I'd be more than happy to post some pictures if I could only figure out how to paste/attach pictures onto my posts.
