Man this thing is amazing. NOTHING like my canned '00 SS or '04 GTO. It sounds awesome.. pulls like a freight train, and I only paid $12,100!


Oh look at the pics and tell me if anyone recognizes the exhaust tips as to what catback it may be? The ad sais corsa but they are definitely not corsa tips. There are no muffler in the back where they should be.. but it is in fact a catback, not a hack job straight pipe setup. Its loud! But the tips are butt ugly. Anyone have any idea?


And did I mention I only paid $12,100???
, , and really

Nice find and buy. Those pipes look like the first flight of the SLP LOUDMOUTHS. I bought a 2002 Z to replace my totaled 2003 Z and the first thing I did with both of them was flush all the fluids and put fresh diff/trans/motor oil/coolant in it. Also, look at the clutch fluid and keep it fresh. RANGER (google it) has a nice step by step process on keeping the clutch fluid clean. I check mine and clean if necessary after each hard cruise/drive. I like to keep mine clear and clean.

Have fun with it, enjoy it and learn the car as is before modding it. A CAMMED only ZO6 can be a beast.

I would probably take the price out of this thread if you are trying to sell it... You will get low balled if not, trust me.

Very nice ! I also just bought an 03 Z06 from a place in Bham, it only had 22k on it but I paid double what you did this past memorial day weekend, but the next day took it on a roadtrip to the Ocoee for some rafting time and man this thing is so awesome. I could not be happier with the buy on this car, congrats on yours !
