Default From rice rocket to red rocket!

Hey guys. I just joined your ranks with my new to me 2004 Z06. Stock, red w/ mod red interior.

Came pretty close to scraping the front there. Learned my lesson about how long the nose is on this thing!

Anyway, this car is really awesome. I see what you guys are all talking about in here. Incredible bang for your buck, awesome looks and just great fun factor.


Anyway, here's my STi, she's relegated to track detail while the C5 becomes my summer cruiser/occasional road course car.

The STi has a big turbo and meth, plus more or less every mod possible and makes 445awhp/415wtq, but there's something (many things actually) about the combination of the v8 and the feel of the Corvette that puts a smile on my face every time.

Haha. Thanks. The STi can be polarizing because of the people who own WRXes and STis, and how many bad ones are running around. This one though has a built motor, high redline and runs 26.5psi of boost every day. So if anybody wants to talk they can meet me at the track.

Plus I mean, everybody with a Corvette needs a winter beater right?

Man I love sti's. They drive great, look good (well sorta. I like them anyways), and sound as good as a 4 cylinder can. They get my respect for sure!

Nice! Better take the z06 to the track too! Maybe your STI can keep up with it

Definitely some track days in this car's future. Too capable to be sentenced to a life of driving 55.
