Bought a new toy...

Well guys, I came across a great deal last week and couldn't say no to it...


Behold!!! My 03 Corvette Z06!!!










I still have the Talon but might sell it just because this thing is soooo much more fun to drive!

Nice, but still dislike. Seems llike you get the Talon running after 4 years, and then selling for this. Not my thing I guess. Still nice though and good find.

Re: Bought a new toy...

Thanks guys. I was getting frustrated with the Talon breaking anytime I'd drive it and get on it. I wanted something I could drive everyday in the summer and have fun with without having to fix it that night. I still have the Talon and Cobalt. I'll park the z06 in the winter and drive the Cobalt. The Talon... I'm gonna keep it for now to still work on and have some fun with, but if the right offer comes around on it, I'll probably sell it.

Re: Bought a new toy...

Curious cause they look sweet and I assumed they were just straight up unaffordable. Never looked into them before

Re: Bought a new toy...

One like mine is going for about 25-30k normally... Get one with higher miles and you can get it for 15-20k... I was just straight up lucky to get mine with such low miles for such a low price.

Re: Bought a new toy...

I'm debating a few mods already... I've seen a front lip made of carbon fiber but it is already pretty low and has problems with clearance. I'm worried it may get damaged quickly pulling in somewhere with a dip... I'm also debating painting the rear lower part of the bumper around the exhaust like on the C6 vettes. Thoughts on doing either of these mods?

Re: Bought a new toy...

Here is one that the lower piece was painted... He used gloss black whereas others have used flat black... I am also debating on adding that same spoiler...
