Default New C5 Z06 owner with a Pic

Guys just wanted to share a pic of my newly purchased 03 z06. I don't post often but I visit this site quite a bit, i'm addicted to lsx engines. The z is just phenomenal and I could've gone with an 05-07 c6, but I just had to have and eb z. I just like the looks the best (besides c6z), and love the race car thrill that this car gives. This car is cherry, has fikse's, and had only 17k miles when I bought it six weeks ago. Mods are in the sig.

Thanks, for the props. I've never heard of anybody hating FM10's haha, but it's all good. I personally dig the FM5's over anything else, but these are my second fav's.

Very Nice....
What other mods were done to the car to raise it to 475hp noted on the fender?

Actually, the previous owner put those stickers on when he had an x-pipe and no cats before he got the car smogged and sold it to me. It now has RT hi-flow cats. The previous owner I believe figured the car was around that power level with full bolt-ons. Of course my dyno shows that it is actually around 440 crank hp. The car runs like a scolded ape though, and I'm debating on removing the stickers, or putting a cam in the car to make 475 hp badges legit.

Yeah, guys, my original thoughts on the decals were that they have to go. I'll probably remove them soon. I just need to research on how to do it properly, so I don't hurt the paint at all.

The one thing I've noticed with this car so far is that people, co-workers & people that aren't into cars, all seem to think the z is new. Maybe it's the two coats of Mcquires wax on the like-new paint, but the car turns more heads here in socal than my ws6 did. I'll post pics again after a full detail and sticker removal.

Hahah thats so true. People that know nothing about cars always say is that a 2010 or I bet that thing cost like 80k right. I usually tell them the truth, but if its a cocky guy that talks to me I just let him continue to be dumb!

I had one guy ask me if it my car was super charged and I said no its not, this is the Z06 not the the new ZR1, he said to bad. Then I asked him what do you drive he said a ZR1 and I say cool man, and to mess with him I ask what engine you got?do you have the 502 (). He goes yeah and its got a big super charger. Then I said O then ask him how much boost are you pushing threw you supercharger he said im not sure I just got a CAI for it. I said I think stock they push 40lbs he said yeah I thinks it about that much maybe more......so I end up saying good bye and LMAO. O and the guy pulled up in a Honda Civic with a huge wing on the back looked really nice , and fast!
