Default I'm back!!!

Not that anybody cares! LOL

She's a 99 Torch Red FRC. 17k miles, absolutely mint condition.
- Vette Drs Heads/Cam - 419rwhp
- Kooks, Borla, Vararam, etc...
- HRE 547 wheels

Thanks to John for being so great to work with, easiest car transaction I've ever done. Glad I could take your slow car off your hands. And thanks to Bob from NRC for posting this car on the forum so I could ****** it up!

Here's a couple pics right after getting it home. Got a little dirty on the drive from Long Island to CT, need to clean it up Tuesday if it gets above freezing.





It's great to be back in a Corvette, I sold my modded black 2000 FRC in April of 05. It's been a LOOOONG 2 years.

For now, maybe some Bilsteins/Hotchkiss and lowering. Later on maybe some Caravaggio seats.

I'm sure I'll want more HP eventually, but after two years of just having an Integra this is plenty fast for now!

It's nice to be back isn't it? I bought my first vette in 87 and sold it in 95, it took 8 yrs. due to buying a house and putting all my money in that direction for me to get back in the game. Good luck and enjoy it
