I bought my car brand new in 2003. A shiny brand new Z06. She is silver with black interior. The car was really fun on the street right out of the box. Chevrolet did a good job. Yay American engineering! Since then she's changed. She's not perfect anymore. There's a few chips, maybe a scrape or two from this or that. But she is more mature. Dropped 2.5", headers, cam, CAI, custom tune. Fresh set of hipo tires. She runs good. You can roast the back tires at will. The car is light enough that it fly's without much work. Got to love Corvette.
Yea there's nothing like a vette! So fast, your gonna beat 99% of the cars on the road.That's great! Mine is also a 2003 Z and with a CAB and Kooks long tube headers it's very fast and dangerous. Lol
love my Z06 , I am an old time muscle car guy , late teens early twenties my bro and I had a '67 GTO , she was gorgeous...black sparkle/white leather interior, 400cid , 11:1 trws, tri-power ( 3 2bbl carbs 1400cfm total) , mod cam, headers, Mallory, hurst comp plus on a M22 rock crusher trans, 390 rear , held SS-H class record on LI for a while , was fast and fun , however .... Sally .... my 2004 Z06 with Vortech SC is a monster , 650+under the hood , scary fast , and hugs the road like she was on rails as they say, at 3000rpm range she is putting out more HP/torque than a stock Z06 puts out at 6000rpm , but still very good street manners, of course the Z is a race car so if you are looking for BMW ride comfort get a BMW, looking forward to enjoying Sally for quit some time :-)
Love mine every time I drive someone wants to race me...lol..like yesterday a porsche cayenne turbo went around me and started flooring it on purpose...ha ha..he had no chance. ....
I bought mine new in '03. I've modded it to make it more personal and I still want to do more. I still love driving my car every time I get in it and at this time I still have no intention of selling it anytime soon. There might be newer sports cars that are faster, but it will take quite a bit of money nowadays to beat me. Still faster than more than 99% of the cars on the road and they know it. I guess that's why I can't go for a relaxing drive anywhere without someone trying to race me. In my area it's usually Porsches. It must be because they spend so much money on their cars to still be slower. HA!
My 04 Z16 (bone stock, 40k miles) is driven but not a daily driver. I also have an 82 (also stock, 36k miles) and the difference between the two is amazing...not surprisingly! It's always a thrill when I get to park the DD (05 Eclipse Spyder GTS) and drive either Vette! I drive the 82 like an old man, the Z somewhat more aggressive...
just put a clutch, tranny and tt rebuild into my 03z. First time i think i ever did that much work on a car and it turned out better then it was before. Love the car, its freaking awesome in every way but the seats, lol.
I deliberately found a car with a few more miles, 32k-ish cause i knew i was going to put 3-4k a year on it. After 23 months of ownership its just shy of 40k. Too great of a car to not drive as much as weather permits.
