I have learned so far is not to judge by mileage but by condition and care of vehicle. I have seen some cheap 60k+ mileage mint car vs some over priced low mileage beat to hell and back ones. Also check weatherstripping by passenger side has a wicked leak.
Good times. Enjoy the car.

Nice upgrade. I did the same about 18 months ago...went from my cam/bolt-ons '99 T/A to the C5Z. I recently finished my H/C/I upgrade and it's a completely new beast now. I wouldn't be surprised if it would keep up w/ 500RWHP F-bods now not to mention the amazing handling.

Congrats on the car, I went from my supercharged 02 SS to an 03 EB Z06 about a year ago. I loved my SS, but I enjoy my Z, I just need to stay home long enough to enjoy it more. A h/c/i/e upgrade and I should be close to what my SS was capable of, but the Z handles so much better!

I'm getting my clutch replaced next month. I get home in a couple of days and have a week to drive it before it goes in for having the work done. Then I might work on the mods, depends on what's discovered while it's apart for repair. This time I'm working on the supporting items first, then working on the power increase.

...with the amount of power YOU are making, you should be runnin away from some of those f-body's. Unless the ones you happen to come across have done some weight reduction. I mean i can kinda understand what your sayin but you make it sound like you hardly stand a chance. You might surprise yourself

looks awesome.....I'm trying to get into a Z06 myself but I can't get rid of my F-body!
Considering the market value for my car and what I could get for it, it just wouldn't be worth it me.
