Hi all,
My first Corvette. I have owned numerous muscle cars and sports cars over the years. I just purchased



a low mileage, (24,000) 2003 ZO6. Really happy with it so far. It sure is a blast to drive. It is basically stock except for American Racing headers and a Kenwood radio system professionally installed. It does seem to have the original mufflers, as they are really quiet. May have to do something about that. But first, the fuel gage quit working on the two hour drive home. I need to sort that out. Other than that, it looks, rides and drives like new. Excited about learning all I can about the C5. Picture from showroom when I picked it up, and a picture of when I got her home. Will post better pics later...
Thanks for adding me to the forum.
