My original thread veered WAY off from the original build so here's the new one updated with pics.

Car- 2002 S/W Coupe. Original un-molested 4l60 car that I picked up at a car lot in Oklahoma City.

I don't even want to go back and figure out how much it's added up to. I'll buy every man that posts here a beer at some point if they DON'T figure it out and post it for me!

Brandon,

That has got to be one of the best Vettes I've ever seen!

Fantastic work buddy - you should be real proud, as I am sure you are

Man and what a list of parts

Thanks,Matt

Bill or William actually. Braden is my middle name.

All credit for the work goes to XP Racing in Oklahoma City. Non sponsor so I can't include their info. A lot of sponsors and members here have provided the parts and answered a lot of my emails.

What are the specs on your wheels and tires?

I had to call the maid back to clean my monitor off. That intake is a great looking piece. Very nice looking machine!

haha thanks man. Those are all the pics I have. I think there's a thread somewhere in here that has a bunch of mini-tub pictures. BlownZ06's thread I think.

Thank you braden.

I'm doing a similar setup wheel size wise, except doing 19x12's instead. Of course, I'm not in your power level right now, but even 480rw has a hard time gripping in the 1st couple of gears

Beautiful C5. If I wasn't so into the blacked out look, your setup is very similar to what I'd love to do for another one.

Good looking car Justin. My old Camaro was blacked out like that. Really loved the look.

Somedays I wish I had a white C5 instead. It's just so hard to turn down that blacked out look in the evenings when the sun is going down.

Still, your C5, just makes me go in a good way.

It brings back good and bad memories and I did the same with two different cars with 3 different setups. It is enjoyable to see the evolution throgh the OPs pics though.

Nice looking car....the stock C5 is a great platform from which to work from....and it is and will be a Corvette classic...C5 is timeless....like 62-67' IMO.
