Default C5Z06 in PA

I'm Jason.

I was torn between one of these and a GTO a few years back. I went with the GTO thinking the back seats would make it more practacle. Man was I wrong. Parts are 2-3X what Vette parts are. I loved the car but it just got to the point I didn't want to pay that much for a car when I could get a better one.

Needless to say, a few years later. Here I am. Picked up an 03 melinum yellow Z06, 43k miles, chrome stockers, MGW shifter, and Corsa exhaust(I'm thinking touring but I have to get the car in the air to check).

I plan to DD it as I do all my cars so expect 20-25k miles a year. No plans to really race it but I'll def do a track day or 2.

I hate to be a noob selling stuff but I posted the PS2 tires that are on it for sale since I really need some all-seasons and would love to trade my stock chromes for some black wheels.

I'm hoping the weather is good for Tony Lukes in 2 weeks.

It will be fun to cruise OCMD again and get called names by all the VW tools at H2O.

haha, that's always fun. Get called names, get yelled at to do burnouts (because those idiots can't manage to do one) and then 30 minutes later get offered $200 for my rims.

It's been a long time, but the name sounds very familiar.

I just find it funny that its cheaper to own a Vette then a GTO.
