Default Hi

I been lurking on the forums for a while now, mainly since mid December when I bought my vette. It's a 2002 Z06, with 13k miles and a few flavorful mods that I would've done the exact same myself so saves me the headache of doing them. I couldn't be more happier getting this car, the only regret is not getting one sooner . Everything on it is in perfect condition, except the tires are still the original ones... I have't confirmed by looking at the stamp on it but pretty sure. Was dynod at ~475 RWHP. My first manual too! I've been looking around and I can't find the tech manuals for it on sale under $130, if anyone knows someone that is selling, or if your willing to sell them to me. Oh and the guy I bought it from gave me the original exhaust, cam, springs, and pushrods. Which is great, I like the idea of keeping everything together.

Current Mods:
- Comp Cams camshaft, (224. 112R <- Whatever that means lol)
- Borla Touring Exhuast
- CAGS Skip Shift
- Valve springs
- Pushrods
- Vararam Air Intake

Upcoming Mods this summer (too cold right now... way too cold):
- I am wrapping it myself with 3M 1080 Scotchprint Satin Flip Glacial Frost Vinyl Wrap (Was gonna do XPEL Ult, but when I saw the color shift stuff I was like this is me...)
- Kooks or LG Long tube headers, will be doing myself and then I guess try and find the guy that originally worked on it and have him re-tune. And I guess I have to get a X pipe and high flow cats as well with this.

Next year:
- Super charger :o!

Didn't have a screwdriver at the time to install front plate

Nice looking car!! What kind of a supercharger were you thinking about?

I laughed at the CAGS skip shift mod. I HATE that skip shift feature and had to disable it on my 96 Firebird Formula. Funny how many people don't know about that feature.

Anyway hope you enjoy the forum.
