Am I high or can’t you get an 02 Z06 with similar miles for the same price? Maybe I’m high. It’s DEFINITELY sick. Don’t let that comment distract, just curious. ---

You can definitely not get a C5 Z06 for the same money. In fact, you’re lucky you can touch one (excepting the “385 HP” '01) for much less than $30k without it having been track-thrashed. ---

Yea the rims are def. going ASAP. But it prob. won’t be this season. This put a hole in my pocket since I put quite a bit down and pre-paid the insurance on it. But for now im good. :o) ---
