Default My new ride!!!
Well over the weekend I purchased a 2002 corvette zo6, I had been outta the car thing for awhile and was finally ready to get back in it. I have always wanted a corvette but was stuck between the zo6 that I now have and a c6 base model. Well for the money I went with the zo6 and love it in the future I plan on doing everything up to heads and cam. If you have any input on good or bad parts I should buy or shouldnt let me know. Such as headers and all that stuff. So far the car is stock besides for the slp intake.
Excuse the car for being dirty the pictures were taking after I drove it home from buying it.

Congrats on getting the vette man. I would of gone with the c6 for the targa top being the only reason but the zo6 is a fun car man. You'll enjoy it.

Do you still have the '04 turbo Cobra in your sig? Im guessing not huh?

Thanks for all the comments everyone the car has 39k on it for miles I bought it from a guy that just purchased a c6z. So he said he didnt need 2 vettes lol. I might be interested in wheels here in the next month or so I wanna get gears in the car first. And no I dont have the turbo cobra anymore, as you can see I like many cars im not just a gm or just ford guy. I have actually had a 02 ss before also, Iam just am a little behind on my sig haha.
