Hi there,

I became a member of this forum because I have always wanted a corvette and finally able to get one. I figured I would take a look at the vettes for sale here because I thought I would get a better quality car from a forum member than I would from craigslist or ebay. Well, I did. I ended up purchasing a 2002 Z06 from a member who lives in Nevada. I couldn't be happier. The car totally exceeds my expectations and at first I thought it might even be too much for me. I've had the car now for a couple weeks and every person I take for a ride just laughs and says "WOW!". Definitely gets a lot of attention.

I had a 1967 GTX withabout 450HP. That was a very fun car. The vette is a completely different experience. I LOVE IT!

Below are some details:

Performance:

- Procharger P-1SC frame upgraded with new belt and D-1SC internals w/ bracket and all supporting modifications, CARB legal
- BBK 80mm Throttle Body
- RPM Level IV transmission
- RPM Stage III rear diff w/ 4.10 gears
- McLeod RST twin disk clutch
- Borla longtube headers
- custom H-pipe with cutcouts
- SLP Loudmouth catback

Suspension:

- QA1 shocks
- WCC lowering bolts
- Hotchkis sway bars

So far, I am happy to be a member and very impressed with how knowledgeable a lot of you are. I look forward to contributing to the forum and possibly meeting some forum members close to me.

Thanks,

Brian
