I picked up my 2002 Yellow Z06 yesterday from the older man that sold it to me. I took it hom, took the sheep skin covers off immediatly, and gave her a bath. That night, my little group of friends with GM performance cars got together at our local hang out... Bone Daddy's (dfw people know this place) and had a fun time getting there... but had more fun coming back home, got to run a 240SX... turbo'd pretty quick. But just the sheer enjoyment of feeling the road and having the power and the flashy color was just amazingly fun. Like a celebrity, everyone looks at you (reminds me to get the windows tinted). Just had an absolute blast. It's fun when strangers walk up to you in a resturaunt and say "man thats a badass vette" and "so you just got it today? oh yeah, i over heard your sister talking about, dude thats sweet" Anyway... just thought i'd share my first night's experience wow! Should have got one of these a long time ago! (pics to come)

Took these tonight, after the BSM was taken off.

 

enjoy it man.

 

I've enjoyed everybit of it, so far... i just want traction at 70-75mph, that will be fixed by the end of the week (Drag radials)

 

glad to hear it man. i cant wait till i get mine, they are beautiful cars bro

 

i love bone daddys. i makes hooters look like a jenny craig meeting. btw congrats on your car. i have an 04 MY. let the modding beging....................

 

Congrats!

BD's is good stuff too.

 

Congrats bro. Enjoy!

 

Congrats, which DR's are you getting?

 

I'm going with nittos. I would go with the BFG's but the nittos i think will last ALOT longer and get SOME rain traction. This is a daily driver for me, not a weekend cruiser, so I have to have some kind of tire that is "all around" and i think the nitto does that very well.

 

Congrats on the Z06, they are great cars.

 

Congrats on the Z!
As for tires, I'd recommend the Nitto 555 R2's in a 305mm width. They're a nice stiff sidewall street tire with drag radial compound. Treadwear 100.

Whats the MAJOR difference, or biggest difference between the 555R vs. 555RII

 

hell yeah man nice car hope you have some fun with it

 

Thanks, looks like you have a nice one too, i passed one this morning... a yellow one, like mine, kinda funny, we both waved though.

 

very nice congrats

 

Looks good. Congrats.

Sidewalls are stiffer in the RII's. That's the only difference. They're designed for road racing. The R's are a drag radial. I had R's on the Trans Am and it got squirrely in turns so I switched to the RII's where the problem was gone. On a Vette, I'd definitely recommend the RII's.

 

Good real life info... sold me.

 

Congrats man! You'll never look back

 

Makes me wanna go and buy mine all over again. I love yellow z06's .
