As long as I continue to make the payments. ;-) And technically it's "ours", if you know what I mean.

Don't complain, your service just got faster.

Awesome! Congrats! Details? Miles, mods, where did it come from, etc.

Ride height appears stock although hard to tell for sure. No issues getting over the driveway hump? Are you going to have some grinding done on the driveway and then lower it? The General was very kind to give us ride height adjustment bolts - 20 minute job.

Now - if not done already, first mods should be column lock by-pass and skip shift eliminator. I can also point you to a really good and cheap kit to add an ipod to the stock head unit. It's another easy install; 30 minutes or so. And 100% plug and play.

1st owner: Leased (30,000 miles) to a GM service manager in Michigan
2nd owner: A local guy who “came into some money” decided that he didn’t like his Porsche, found the Z06 in MI and brought it back to WV. His wife didn’t like driving it. He put 4,000 miles on it then traded it for a Ford Fusion… go figure.
3rd owner: ME!

It’s in great shape. Totally stock, except for an alarm system. I paid 25K from a local dealership. It’s a 2004 model and has 34,??? miles. They put fresh rubber (Continetial ExtremeConti's I think) on the day I picked it up.

I believe it to still be at stock ride height. It did not scrape going into the driveway, although, it is still really close. I'll likely have some grinding done at some point. I don't trust my wife to handle driving it in/out of the driveway properly.

Now - if not done already, first mods should be column lock by-pass and skip shift eliminator. I can also point you to a really good and cheap kit to add an ipod to the stock head unit. It's another easy install; 30 minutes or so. And 100% plug and play.

Please point me in the right direction.

It's in Logan county at the moment. I drove in to visit family before the torrential downpour on Saturday. There was too much mud/rocks/water on the roads for me to bring it home. It's safely stored away in my dads garage.

Oh, goodie - another hot shoe to deal with. Congrats Robbie, it appears that you made a good choice and the price seems reasonable. If you need to buff and wax to get the black looking outstanding, I've got the goods to do it with. could work out to be a garage party.

Oh, I forgot to comment that Bev really likes driving our Z-06; although she has some difficulty keeping it below 100 mph. She claims that it is sooo easy to do.

Indeed it does. Not to steal Robbies thunder I'll make another thread soon. :)


Had I been able to use a 2 door I wouldve bought that blue Z in Winfield awhile back. Best bang for the buck out there. Congrats Robbie.

So... will it be autocrossed in 1.5 weeks?

Vette - 2 doors / 2 seats
Evo - 4 doors / 5 seats

To quote Hannah Montanna... it's the best of both worlds.


Oh, yeah... can't forget the work horse of the family.
Sienna - 5 doors / 8 seats and a tow hitch

I'm be traveling back from the Carribean that day. However, my next autocross will likely be in a single seater, one cylinder. ;-) I gotta keep Jason on his toes.

Well the V and now the M have best of both world qualities.


And a damn minivan isn't too far off. :mad:
