Picked up a c5z

[NateTermi]

Well, I sold my terminator back in March and couldn't stand not having a toy any longer. Picked this up on Thursday night.

2001 corvette z06
58k miles
Long tube headers
Borla catback
Vararam intake

Nice car, really like these. How is it compared to your Cobra?

 

[Gray_Ghost]

It looks good, but the base model C6 wheels don't fit. Did it come with the original wheels?

Well my pullied cobra feels a little bit faster, but overall I think I like the z better.
The main thing I like better about the cobra is the seats... I'm not a fan of the c5z seats.

I agree 100%. They will be coming off soon. Unfortunately it didn't come with the stock wheels...

C5 seats suck. I've seen a few guys put Viper seats in though. If you go for stock wheels, try to get '01 specific wheels. They are lighter than the wheels that came on '02-'04. Of course there are plenty of other options as well. CCW, iForged, True Forged, Fikse, etc...

c5z is on my my list of "must have" cars. id even settle for an frc like the white one that was posted on here recently.

I was thinking tsw nurburgring wheels. And I definitely want an aftermarket set of seats.

Nice looking Z06. Congratulations! I'll bet it sounds really good with the long tubes.

Sweet car! New wheels will make it perfect!

Congrats man! I love C5 Z's and miss mine. They're fun as hell to drive.

 

[JetmechF16]

Nice! Don't worry, the C6Z seats suck just as much.

 

[chad95]

Nice Pick up just picked the one In my sig up a couple weeks ago! Put a good cam in that car and your pull pullied cobras all day!

 

[VenomGTX]

Sick! Can't wait to get mine.

reds the fastest color , i call it arrest me red but Torch red works to. I remember the day i picked up my c5z (5 years ago) and i still love it every day i drive it just as much if not more than when i first drove it and i don't ever plan on selling it. Have fun modding it!

 

[nidyanazo]

Nice. Looks nice and clean, just fix those seats by re-dying the leather and you're all set.
I did that on a pair of leather seats, and you can't even tell the difference now. They look brand-new again it's unbelievable what some leather dye will do for you

 

[SVTORANGE]

Congrats :rockon:

 

[NateTermi]

Thanks fellas

 

[ScreaminRedZ]

Yikes on the wheels, but I saw you have plans to change them. Congrats in the new ride, C5Z's are badass!
