Default New Z owner

Hi everyone.

My name is Humberto and I am the happy owner of a low mileage C5Z06.

My first car was a 1983 Ford Mustang that my dad bought in 1994 when I was at university. My first own car was a 1997 Z28 A4 that I bougnt in 1998 and owned until 2006 when I get my former 2001 Z28 M6.

This is the LT1 Camaro sold in 2006



And this is the LS6 Camaro that I am selling.



Me and some friend create the first and world’s biggest fbody related forum in Spanish at www.camaro-transam.com. My LT1 was running 12.80s at the quarter with a hot cam, LTs, TDs, 3000 Stall, and 3.42 gear. The 2001 car was running mid 11s with a camed LS6 engine that I bought from a member. It has a Textralia clutch, 9in rear end, UMI suspension, Strano springs, lid, LTs and True duals.

I always wanted a C5Z06 until today, when I bought this baby. After spending some time washing her with my little lady, we are ready to introduce to you our Torch Red Z06 2002.

11's are a cake walk for these cars if we can drive, lol. How much did you pay? Mine is right at 16k in miles also and just wondering what real world prices are. I had my stock motor all the way to 10.85 with some spray. Nice car, enjoy.

Z06s are the same as US prices in blue book. But, is very hard to find them here in Mexico and some owners are asking high prices for them. Mine was a good deal.
