Default looking at my posb second c5 this week

Well i have been missing my old 02 Z06 for about last six months. Sold it lil over two years ago. It had long tubes, cam, cai, etc when i sold it. So i have had the vette bug bad like i said lol. My buddy has a 2004 c5 white in color/ auto trans/ aftermarket wheels/ cai and slp catback exhaust that he will sell me at a really fair price. So one day this week my wife and i are going to test drive it. She cant drive a stick so she never drove my z06. If she likes driving it we will prob buy it :-).

If so i plan on adding a set of 1 3/4" long tubes with a catted x-pipe, prob a diff cai and a dyno tune to the 04. Want to keep this c5 more street friendly than my last. Not going the big cam route again with a daily driver. Wld really like to put on an A&A supercharger kit :-).

Looks like a nice car. Just check it over carefully just to be sure everything is in good working order.

That's good looking.

My girlfriend didn't want an auto even though she hadn't driven a stick in quite a few years. She still forgets there is a 6th.

Thanks everyone. I am def loving having a vette again. Found a great price on headers so my amazing wife was like go for it. So now i will be doing kooks 1 7/8" headers (went bigger bc i know there is a supercharger in my future lol & that size did well on my cammed z06) with kooks cat x-pipe. Def cant wait to get the bolt-ons put on and dyno tuned.
