Yeah, no noise whatsoever coming from it. The car literally looks and drives like a 30K mile car. I just had all the fluids changed, the only thing I really need to do is front rotors and it should last to 200K no problem. Where can I get some cheap? GM parts direct?
What wheels are those, I love them

Is this your first z06? If it is, I highly suggest your start of with bolt on's. First z06. I drove scared the **** out of me from a dig. They aren't easy to handle.

If you look on Corvette forums there are several break deals going on all the time. Look in the c5 parts for sale section. I got 4 rotors and brake pads for $180. They are cross drilled, slotted and zinc coated. I am sure its not the best brakes out there but they are as good as the factory stuff that I had and eventually I want big brakes. Check it out it really is a pretty good deal.
Yeah it's my first Vette. I have DR's, Headers/Xpipe (Putting the headers on tomorrow) Vararam, Borla Exhaust and a ported TB. Getting a dyno tune tomorrow too. I've been learning to drive it; taking it out on the backroads and getting a feel for the car. It's different from an Fbody for sure, but I can handle it; Ive had quite a few fast cars over the years.

Nice! thats about exactly what I have done to mine! Lol. That's not the problem, these things gets sideways real easy. Just be careful is All I say. Wrapping the car around a tree or pole is the last thing you want to do in a vette never the less a fiberglass car. It's your car, not mine. Lol. ****, drive it off a cliff if you Want to, vin diesel did it. Lmao.

I let my Younger brother drive mine, he's 26 and has a pretty fast Vert TA. He was absolutely terrified of it and immediately told me to drive. It's tough to control for sure. I love it though! One of the girls I'm seeing wants to drive it.... Yeah NO.

I really don't think I did too bad honestly, I got the car for 15,400 the rest of the $ was tax tag and title. Plus the top end of the motor was just rebuilt with better valve springs/pushrods and the rocker arm trunion upgrade (I saw the receipt and the mileage was on the receipt.) Also, you can tell the car was not abused, the front clip is not scraped at all underneath (Common problem) and the paint looks just about new. I bought it to drive, not to put it in a garage that's why I didnt care about the mileage. I have seen ones with 70-90K for 20 grand, so I am not complaining.
