Newbie from RI
Excited to join vette forum. Just purchased 2002 Z06 after years of dreaming about owning a vette. This 405HP model blows my mind in the acceleration. Still creeping up on power shifting but WOW is the one word that describes what happens in 2nd and 3rd gear at 6000/6200 rpm shifts. Started already to invest in tools though as I can see some weekend work ahead. Leaking like a sieve in the rain, so for now fine weather ride only until I can figure out how to remove all the roof trim, moulding etc.
Cheers!
Cheers!
