Sweet ride, Jason. I love that style. I can't believe you got black for your area. That's going to be HOT!

Was it a local?

Yeah Z is gone forever. I could have bought it back for 9k but it was so smashed up in the front I didnt want to mess with it. I ended up 2500 out of pocket for this car. I also ripped my sound system out of the Z which I wasnt supposed to so I got that out of it too. Im pretty sick of talking about it. Shop owner did what he could to take care of me. Just want to put it behind me. I do want to say to any of you guys with built boosted Z's thinking about other cars that could be better. Dont do it. This car is definately a looker. Sounds killer and good power. Built FI Z with suspension mods.....the ultimate fun driving machine.

So is the vette the UPgrade from a Z? Everyone I seen on this forum and some people I know went into a vette. Man I thought I upgraded when buying the Z. BTW nice vette, like the tires.

The Z community loses another one to the vette. Great looking car and I'm sure I'll see you around the vette forum too.

Car came with these which are 18" and a set of 19's for the rear same color. I asked the previous owner the size and he didnt know. The inside of the wheel doesnt say. How can I find out? Rears are on Nitto555r 305/30/18. Fronts are on Goodyear F1 245/40/18. These drag radials hook up pretty good but I miss my Toyo r888's.

I think these may be it. I like them and the price is ridiculously cheap.

I went out yesterday to look at an 04 Z06. Hopefully I can part out my car within the next few weeks. After that I'll be trading it in for a Vette.

Yeah I was just measuring them with a tape measure. Fronts are 9.5 and rears are 11. Those do look like the same ones.
