So I accidentally posted this in the general section first. Whoops. Anyways I just bought an EB 2002 Z06 with 41k on it. One owner. It's completely stock and is my first two door sports car. A little background on my car ownership history. I've previously owned a wrx, srt-4, cobalt ss turbo, 300c srt-8, and currently drive a 2016 gti as my daily. I love the gti but the vette makes me giggle uncontrollably. The car feels much faster than I expected it to and breaks the tires loose in the first 3 gears. It's also pretty loud and I didn't expect the crackles and burbles from the stock exhaust. I've been on here a lot and did a stupid amount of research before buying the car and I'm very happy I did. On a side note. The original owner never changed the valve springs so I did that this past weekend. Never done anything like that but it was relatively painless. Hopefully the mod bug doesn't hit too soon. Glad to be apart of the forum.

Welcome and congratulations on your nice C5 Z06!
Don't fight the mod bug. It's easier to go peacefully into the world of "while I'm here I might as well do...........!
Enjoy your ride and save the wave!
Cheers, Larry
