Default It was a journey, but finally got her! Pics up finally!

Picked up an 02 Z, i picked her up from the original owner a mid 50's wealthy vette fanatic, real nice guy with an 07 Z, 56k pampered miles, electron blue, and sexy as hell, that color is insane on it and in great shape! It's only day 1 so haven't pushed her to the limit but so far it's one impressive beast. Got a pretty good deal snagged her for $23k.

Very nice purchase and color selection Sounds like you got a pretty darn good deal too. I paid about $3500 more last month but mine has 27K miles too. Welcome to the Z06 world...this is my first vette and it's a BLAST!

Very nice! Looks very clean for an 02! What are your plans for her? keep her stock? (that'll never happen )

Congratulations!

Looks good dude. I just got mine a couple weeks ago too, so I'm also new to the Z club. I've already started a couple mods though... Z16 stripes and ordered some chrome rims. Now comes the FI.
