Thanks to ShawnZR-1 for driving me down to pick her up. Only had her for a week, but this car is amazing! Had to install the Mild2Wild on it though. Car is way too quiet at idle otherwise.

My little dude loves it!


My wife took this one.


With her truck

like you car especially that ls7. I think it is the best engine chevy has built and put in a vette. chevy didnt build the lt5 so I cant count that as the best since it is.

enjoy your car.

Only thing so far is the Mild2Wild switch, but I would love to do headers. It's got enough power for me already.

All things considered, the LT5 is the best engine GM ever put in a Vette.

Yes, people like to look at stock C5, C6, & C7 engine bays, but the only thing of special interest is usually the cosmetic covers and doodads.

When you lift up the clam shell hood of the C4 ZR1 and expose the suspension and the amazing beauty of the LT5 itself, no cosmetic add ons are needed. The LT5 heritage ... GM, Lotus Racing, & Mercury Marine Racing ... speaks for itself loud and clear.

Will the C8 Zora car also have a sophisticated and beautiful quad over head cam engine? Only time will tell. Enjoy.

This is true, I wish there was something I can do to make my LT1 look cooler.
