Newbie in Calgary
Hi Folks, I just brought home my new to me Mellenium yellow Z06 during a brief weather window so am looking forward to spring in the great white north big time. I have owned a couple of 72 LT1 coupes, a 78 Indy Pace car, and an 88 coupe in the past and was looking for something to replace my 08 V8 BMW M3. The M3 is a wonderful car and goes like stink but is just too sophisticated for my tastes so was looking for something with a bit of personality and a bit of an edge. A very nice gentleman was liquidating some of his cars locally and had this 25,000 mile car available. The car is exceptional, looks better than showroom and has had some very tasty mods ie Supercharger, injector upgrades, titanium headers/exhaust upgrade and PFADT adjustable coil overs. Personality and edge galore. His maintenance schedule has been impeccable so I had no choice and the car is now in my garage, and the M3 is for sale. I will get some pictures posted of the Z06 when the weather permits but it looks pretty much like every other yellow C5 Z06. I am sure I will be looking for some advice as I slobber over it in the garage over the next month or two and am looking forward to your input.

Welcome to the Forum, Dwight, and congratulations on your C5 Z06!
Sounds like the prior owner made some nice mods to it.
