New Z06 owner!
Finally found a Z after much searching. It's pretty hard trying to find a car while living in Finland and then coordinating with my Brother in FL to go buy a car. But he and my Father did it. Picket up an Electron Blue Z from member RIGIT. He was a super cool and upfront guy and the car was like described, actually better (well atleast according to my brother and dad, since I've only seen the car in pics...)
And yes, there are other shift ***** that came with the car (has Hurst quick shifter), they just haven't had a chance to swap out that red one.
But anyways, here are a couple of shots of the car!

Congrats!! Youre going to love this car!
Just out of curiosity... what is it going to cost you to have it shipped to Finland?

It will be a long time before you get the smile off your face, once you get to drive that bad boy…

Congrats! Electron Blue is my personal favorite (yeah I own one). This was by far the best purchase of a vehicle I ever owned. For the price you can't go wrong! Congrats on the new purchase!
Any mods?

It's about $1600. So not too bad. The real kicker to the nuts are going to be the taxes. We're talking about $15k for taxes and registration fees
I have to mod the taillights so the blinkers blink amber (maybe LEDs from Radioflyer, or just basic Euro look taillights with the clear bottom)and Im also going to have to modify the running lights so they are not going to be amber (3157 switchback LEDs should cure that).I've been back to Finland now for two years and really miss the states...the taxing and gas price is horrible here ($8 a gallon).
I once bought a 01 Z06 for my friend that he exported here and I got to drive it several times, hence why I really wanted one. I searched for that one for about a month, daily. My brother clay barred the car yesterday and he said the paint was flawless. No I have to wait until Jan 31st when I go visit to be able to drive it. Can't Wait!

As for the taxes, someone has to pay for that socialist paradise.

That is the username I came up with years ago when I owned an F150 Lightning... It was domestic and I abused it... thought it was catchy/clever then, even though it's not anymore Just stayed with it. Had a lot of BMWs and other imports but I've always had a thing for American Muscle!
