Default Fly and drive C5 Triple black!!! (pic HEAVY)

Yup I bought this C5 off of the forum, after having my 99 vert was totaled, from member jd86L98

This is what was listed

RPM Head & Cam Package with FAST 90/90
450rwhp/420tq
GHL Bullets
LG Headers
T1 Sway
Bilstein sports
Lowered on stock bolts with PFDAT performance alignment specifications
ACT High Performance clutch kit with adjustable master (less than 1000 miles.)
Transmission rebuilt and upgraded to stage 4 (about 3000 miles on tranny)

All fluids recently changed

SS brake lines w/ hawk pads & DBA 4000 rotors
19' Forgestar w/ 265-30 - 305-30


Holy ****!! Excuse my french this car is all of that and SOOO much more.

We flew into SNA short cab ride to his house and BAM the car was exactly as said and more. Everything, and I mean everything is documented and the work is immaculate. Hard to believe this car has 65k miles on it.

We spent the night and took off back to Texas saturday morning going out thru Highway 74 across to Lake Elsinore, great road, then shot up to Big Bear AMAZING road and this is the perfect car for that. The tire, sway bar, bilstein combination is absolutely perfect for the twistie roads and the flat power curve of this car is a dream, you cna feel all 450 horses at the wheels and she never complains or gets upset in the switchbacks!

WE ended day one at the grand canyon, quick trip thru the canyon for a couple of pics then 15 hour straight to dallas. Smoothest performance car I have ever owned on the road and absolutely the best mannered car, until you ask for it!













She loves the Texas Gas....time for a new tune!


So what's next....upgrade the AV system, new tune, heated seats and just drive!!!
Oh yeah feels good to be back in practicly brand new Sport seats!!!!!

Isn't it great when you do something like this and there are "NO" disappointments? Hope you have years of enjoyment from this great looking Corvette!

In that close up of the rear it looks like the paint has "orange peel"
below the third brake light and above the letters " r and v" in corvette.
Maybe just the photo.
Nice looking car.
