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.

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.

Cool, will do. My rotors are shot, so that will be the next thing I do. I spent my christmas bonus on the headers, X pipe and DR's, but I will start looking on there.

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.

HAHAHA Yeah, I left the traction control on the first time I drove it until I got a feel for where and when it spins; with the street tires on there it gets sideways in 2nd gear @ WOT... the DR's helped a LOT. It truly is the closest thing to a racecar I've ever driven, my last car was a 10 second Fbody and didnt compare to the Z06. I've been respecting it, last thing I wanna do is crash it because I have been wanting one for so long.

First time my cousin drove my dads, he was 21, had the traction controll off and had a heart attack, yet he was only 1/4 on the throttle. Lol

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.

vetteboy99

Lol. That's definetely a no no.

wooddaniel

Yeah. She got butthurt about it, Im like oh well, she'll get over it. Im looking hard at the TR224 Cam, or maybe a 228 cam nothing too crazy. Been bored at work looking at parts haha

Maybe it's just me, but for the mileage that price seems a little high. That's a lot of miles for a Vette too.

vetteboy99

It's a Z06 for 16,5. 16, 5 can have you riding in style and at the same time all over the damn road! My z06 has 120kand me and the previous owner raced the hell out of it until 100k

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.

wooddaniel

That was my Z28 (Just had the SS rear spoiler) with a H/C 383 Stroker motor in it, I have since sold that car. I miss it, it pulled like a Gorilla on PCP and steroids but I couldn't afford to keep both cars.

wooddaniel...lets see some pic's after you do what you want done...and i agree with you on wanting the car to drive and not worry about mile's....that was a awesome price as well...
