Run a C5 Z06 on track a bunch and you can have the uber-cool import tuner look too

They're really starting to get fruity.

Ricer. You better take some points and put a man exhaust on there. If its not damaging your hearing, its not a racecar. :P

Do you set the car right on the
sub frame, or pad it?

Been putting jackstands on the front and rear cradles for years and years... never used anything as a pad. Have had 4 C5s and never an issue. I do use a block of wood to span the cradle ribs when jacking the car up.

It is not a racecar unless it has a trailer hitch.

Where did you get the red camber plates? My orange ones don't match anything.

Got them from Gary @ Hardbar... this is how they came. I used to do the tire trailer gig on my old car. Have an 18' trailer that I've been using for a few years.

You should cut those off and sell them, buy a used set and run them at the track and then sell those. You could have a profitable side business going on.

LOL, what hearing is there to damage if you've already lost a good chunk! I blame it on the rock concerts.
