After much deliberation, my new ride

[96lazervert]

We'll guys I made a previous post a few weeks back on deciding between an 03' Cobra or C5 Z06. I just sold my C6 Z06 on Saturday and pick up this car on Christmas Eve. I thought I was dead set on the Cobra until I went and drove this car. Thank you guys for answering all my questions for those who have owned both and those who had good input. I was able to payoff the wife's car and pickup this up. It was hard to give up the C6 but it was the smartest move. I will miss the C6Z for sure, but this car is different enough to make it exciting. On to the car.
2001 Z06, mod red interior, 27k miles, cam, full exhaust
More mods are coming just have to decide what direction I'm going to go.

Great looking Z man. How is it going back a generation?

Congrats! That thing is nice! I have a Z06 carbon fiber intake tube for it of you're interested

It's ok. I really like how this car is not as refined as my C6 was. This car put down 440rwhp with a big cam and full exhaust. My C6 made 570 with heads and cam so there's a lot of power I'm going to make up at some point maybe. Not sure yet.

No I got it from a friend of a friend. I've been eyeing it for a while but the owner never wanted to sell it. I was going to call you today but ran out of time. Freakin holidays lol.

Very nice!

Love the interior. Good pickup! Smart financial move as well! :beer:

The C5s are more raw, and more pure in some ways than the C6. Congratulations!

the outside looks good but that interior...damn that sh*t is clean! nice ride.

Congratulations! Awesome car; can't wait to have one in a few years when I'm done with school.

that is a very nice C5 but i am scratching my head here trying to figure out why you sold a C6 to buy a C5 :shrug:

 

[Z06]

Very nice OP, what does something like that run give or take. Not trying to cause anything but that was the car that made me fell in love with vettes and go crazy for the Z06.

C5z is one of the most fun car's I've ever driven.

Ended up with an 03 coupe due to my love of targa. Have some modding to do to catch up.

he sold the c6z to pay off his girls car and prob got this with no or to little payments, that's the way i took it

 

[ZIMxxZUM]

That thing is nice

Exactly. I made the move now rather than later because every year I kept the C6, that was another 5k I would lose. Selling it now allowed me to payoff the wife's car and buy the C5 but still be debt free. Made sense to me.

I paid $25k for it. It booked for $23,108 on kbb.com. I would have at least done a cam and full exhaust on a stock one so that saved me some money.
