New toy, went back to the dark side.

Havent posted in a while. Traded my 16 GT A6 with a VMP making 600ish for a new F150 about a year ago. Love the truck but we know how it is. Still have the truck for daily duty but I had to pick up something on the side. Ive been wanting to get back in a vette for some time. I had a 98 C5 6 speed back in the day and it was silver too. Well here she is, picked her up last Nov. Car is incredibly clean and tight. Still smells new, time capsule.

1 owner, 8k mi

Original Run Flats etc

How she looked on the showroom floor:

How she looks now:

Window and light tint with a carbon fiber steering wheel. Gives it a nice touch.

To do's:

Matte black Forgestar F14s on order
MT drag radials and vararam ready to be installed
Heads/Tune/Nav update are next

Drove it to work this morning and played around with an older gsxr750. Neck and neck 60-120ish. Fun car.

Never a bad choice. Probably the best performance bargain currently.

The best looking Corvette they made thus far IMHO.

Just bought one myself. 2007 with 8K miles. Started tearing it down this week.

Awesome. If I didn’t need 4 seats I’d own one right now.

Where did you pickup that steering wheel? Looks sick

Found it on eBay for a steal compared to the retail price from Nexon motors ($2kish). It really is a nice piece. Not only does it look great it gives the car a much nicer feel.

So you ran neck and neck with a GSXR750?

Yup. That’s my story. I’m gonna assume he wasn’t the best driver

I believe it. When racing bikes you want the highest roll possible. Had you hit it lower, he would of pulled and you would of eventually started reeling. The bike has a lot of aero and lack of displacement to overcome in order to run with that corvette on the big end.

Ive owned a gaze 750 and have a Procharged vet. It would be an interesting roll race and a lot would depend on the driver/riders ability and weight.

I must've missed where OP said he had a power adder.
