Well i really wanted a vette. Its a silver c5 with 59000 miles. Its the cleanest car youll ever fricken see. I looked at it for about an hour searching for a single blemish or scratch. It has long tube headers, k&N, a 4000 stall, drilled and slotted rotors and some some appearance things. I got it pretty cheap. I looked at 5 vettes and this was my favorite. I even looked at a twin turbo vette.

My plans for it are black z06 wheels, borla mufflers and tinted tails. Then after enjoying it for a while its heads, cams, and a 100 shot.

Heres a crappy pic. Will get more soon.

Nice C5! I use to have an 01 Z06 sold it and couldn't handle not having a Corvette so I just purchased an 05 C5 Z51 Coupe. You will love your C5 I owned mine for over 7 years and loved every minute of ownership.

They're a totally different experience than a mustang/f-car. Very low, super smooth and very light feeling. You just can't get the weight out of a mustang and get it to work like that. Mine turns HARD but it lacks that nimble lightweight feel, the slung back seating position and the shifter where it's supposed to be.

Those two are Z06s with very expensive wheels, ($8,000+ new).

Congrats on the purchase.

Im pretty sure the iForged wheels arent 8k dollars, they are around 4-5k IIRC. I remember being in the market for them before I decided to sell my car.
