Default Hello from Germany - '03 C5 Z06

Finally got it, awesome car
Well like u can maybe guess from my name Im from Germany (hope u can understand my english ) and imported that '03 Z06 from Florida. Took me and my contact (www.extreme-corvette.com) 2 weeks to find her, then bought at Sunset Pontiac, 54k mls 1 owner car, in really great condition.
Then 4 long weeks of waiting till ship arrived. Now its my car since couple of days ago, just been buisy driving around since then
Just one day after I picked her up I mounted Borla Stingers, sounds really great but LTs and Xpipe are the next step to go for THAT sound I want.
Well car is a real attention-getter here in Germany everyone turns around for that sick V8 sound
Now I can finally mess around with the Porsches AMGs etc, but u more likely find those street tuner rides BMW VW etc which are totally overkilled by a car like that.

Here are some pics when I picked her up in Bremerhaven (north end of Germany) drove back to south end was about 1000mls that day but worth every single one of it plus every cent I paid for it

Going to lower her tomorrow and make some good pictures then to post it into C5Z06 thread.

Welcome, where you from in Germany? I've spent some time in the Frankfurt and Landstuhl areas.

I miss the autobahn....the donar's, the beer, the pastry shops, the restaurants, and the food in general.
