Got a Z, but it's not a Nissan...

Crash · 07-14-2009, 05:36 AM

I bought a 2002 Corvette Z06. It's fun as hell...

(Although, intelligent key would have nice.

)

I'll be getting rid of the wing soon. I don't really like it and would like to get the ACI spoiler. The car is filthy right now. I'll be detailing it tomorrow.

Congrats looks great!

GMZ · 07-14-2009, 06:51 AM

Nice, low miles for an 02

AK370Z · 07-14-2009, 06:59 AM

Very nice! LSx engines are amazing. I love the ungodly amount of low end tq. A nice set of rims + good detail =

congrats

Bdub · 07-14-2009, 10:46 AM

looks awesomeee

shabarivas · 07-14-2009, 11:27 AM

how much it run you????

Lug · 07-14-2009, 11:39 AM

I love the 2002 Z06. 405 hp and < 3200 lbs. FTW. And Blue is kinda a rare color to boot!

Crash · 07-14-2009, 01:24 PM

Thanks guys. Yeah, the car was hardly ever run at all. I'm positive the owner almost NEVER floored it so I went out an blew out the carbon last night.

The car is definitely filthy but the paint is in great condition. I'm going to have her detailed either today or tomorrow (when I can get around to it) and post up some better pics.

I got it for $19.5K which was a steel since it's worth quite a bit more with those wheels and those miles.

The wheels are Custom HRE 540Rs. One has a tiny bit of hardly noticeable curb rash which I'll have fixed, but aside from that they're very clean.

I've already had the car sideways a few times... The low end torque is WAY more than my LS1 Trans Am's. At 30MPH on a straight, I put it into second and dropped the hammer... The car went sideways for a second and then the active handling came on. At that point, I held on very tight because I knew what was about to happen... The car straightened out, hooked and took off like a bat out hell... WHHHOOOOO! Scared the piss out of me at first.

I'll need to weight my car. I believe with stock wheels the Z06 is supposed to weight 3060 or 3090 with 1/4 tank of gas. This car has intake mods, so it could possibly be making more than 405... The CIA manufacturer says the CIA on it is good for 18HP at the crank. Dyno's show about 10RWHP. But I still am skeptical.

shabarivas · 07-14-2009, 02:37 PM

Holy crap thats sooo cheap man... maybe ill look into some used z06s lol...

Crash · 07-14-2009, 02:58 PM

Yeah. The guy really wanted 21K for it, which was a steel in the first place.

The car is just amazing. The body is perfect, the paint is nearly perfect (a tiny chip on the wing, which is going bye-bye anyway) and the interior and clean. It was a deal I just couldn't pass up.

Ew

smurfblu13 · 07-14-2009, 05:36 PM

that is an awesome car Crash.. Congrats!

You gonna keep the HRE's on it? I agree with you though spoilers got to get the boot, no pun intended.

dad · 07-14-2009, 05:40 PM

Congratulations!

mrarroyo · 07-14-2009, 06:53 PM

This pictures make me miss my 2004 red convertible Vette. We had a flood in Miami Beach about a month ago and mine was declared a total loss, it had under 25,000 miles and look awesome. Oh well, with the money I bouth the 09 370Z base in PG.
