So, I've gone to the dark side...z06

[Jack Burton]

Just picked it up tonight. 2003 z06 50th anniversary with 9,300 miles. I haven't had a chance to take pics yet (dark out) so here is a link to the for sale ad.

SWEET pick up...but from one who's been the route....you will miss the Cobra terribly! It's only a matter of time! By the time a year and a half had transpired, I couldn't get out of my cammed and exhausted, 23k miles '02 quicksilver ZO6 fast enough! They are AMAZING machines, but if you're a Mustang guy, you'll miss the heck out the Mustang's overall lovable awkwardness....ha!

Damn, just above 9k. Are you going to drive it or put a picture frame around it like the last guy?

 

[Ass Eyes]

Racer, I liked "Full as ticks" better even though I didn't get it. Please put it back.

Nice find and purchase! Pics are mandatory!

Speaking from first hand experience... you're gonna miss the almost instant low-end torque your Cobra had. On the other hand... you'll be grinning like a Cheshire Cat the first time you throw that new Z into a tight curve at high speed!

Nice find and enjoy the new toy.

You've made a jealous man out of me very early in the morning..! Whether it's a C5 or C6 you just have to LOVE the Z06's. Just gorgeous cars.

Nice car Hope u did not pay any where near that price though. U can buy those cars with about the same miles for way less

It's a two owner car. The first owner had it for a year...only put on 64 miles. Not sure what the hell he was doing with it.

It is my new daily driver. I only commute about 40 miles a day, so I wont' be killing it with miles. But, that's why I wanted a low mileage car, so I could drive it and enjoy it and not worry about the miles. :beer:

I definitely agree. I do miss that low end grunt that my Cobra had. The engine attitude of this car is a lot different. I haven't had a chance to put it in any corners yet, but I'm looking forward to that.:rolling:

I paid $26,900 for it. It was worth it to me. I've been looking for one for months now and couldn't find anythign with the low miles that this thing has. Around here, they are mainly 30k mile cars going for about $24,000.

It was good enough that you bought this gorgeous Z06 with low miles. But having it be your daily driver is the ultimate. If I had bought this car I would definitely drive it every day (except December-March). I could never NOT want to drive it every day. Talk about a good way to put a smile on your face every day. Enjoy it!! :beer:

That's why the low miles were so important to me. When I had my Cobra, it had higher miles. So, I barely ever drove it since I didn't want to add to the mileage. Which, I feel, took away from the enjoyment of the car. Every time I drove it, I felt bad. Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. So, now that I have a low mileage z06, I can drive it everyday and feel guilt free. So, I'm pretty excited that my main mode of transportation is something that I love.

Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you.

Welcome to the dark side.
