I have reading this forum for a month now, while looking for a car. I found one this week and put a deposit on it. Red 2003 Z06, low miles, black and red interior, basically bone stock. Will pick it up in early Jan. I so excited. I got to drive it yesterday. No doubt many Q's to follow if I can't find what I want to know on this forum. Hi to all. Gary In NM.

Hey Gary. Love the Z06. There is such a thing as too much. It seems to me the C5 Z06 is the perfect balance. And they look awesome!

Thanks all, I never thought of the red that way, all Corvettes are RED right? But heck yea, why not. I always loved the FRC's and being a Z06 just made me do it. I will pick it up in early Jan., stayed up last night until 3am reading stuff. Will be changing valve springs as soon I get it home.
