[IMG][/IMG]I've had it for two weeks now and really like it. It's a '99 Hardtop with a DRM top end package. Dyno sheet says 414 rwhp. and 380 rw torque.

Yea, you caught me on that one. They're 17's with slicks off my old ZR-1. I bought the '99 with polished thin spokes but I just didn't think they looked wide enough so I sold them and ordered some Black Motorsport Z06 repops but don't have them yet. Good eye.

Very nice numbers! That will be a beast on the street. I think the car looks awesome, very mean stance with those wheels...although it looks like the rear wheels stick out past the fender well. Anyhow, congrats on the purchase.

PS-Are those Fikse FM5's on the C4 in your avatar? Looks NICE!!

Thanks, the wheels in the picture are my old ZR-1 track wheels, 17x10 and 17x12 CCW's. I ordered a set of Black Z06 repops, those Motorsport ones and a set of Kuhmo Exta 275/17 and 295/18 tires. I sold the polished five spokes and runflats that came on the car. I plan to run the 17" CCW's with Victoracer for autocrossing though. Yup those are FM5's on the old car. I used to hang out on the ZR-1 Forum quite a bit.
