RICERS HAVE WINGS, NOT CORVETTES.


Do not do it

You need to get out more. On a cold winter night, that engine block will get pretty cold, even if you spent some time heating it up with a few 1/4 mile runs. If I only lived in CA, and if I was only about 30 years younger. I used to live in LA, and went to USC.
I had a 93, with a Greenwood wing before I got my 03. I have to admit, that 93 was a sweet looking vette ( white on white). There's a photo of it at Carlisle, in my profile, although you can't see the wing in that shot.To be honest though, I don't like the look of a wing, or spoiler on a C5, except for the Carvaggio, because it is subtle, and flows with the lines of the car which in my opinion is the most aerodynamic, and aesthetic vette ever. Don't get me wrong, every vette has it's great points, but right now, my favorite is the C5.

I don't think a wing looks good on a C5, put your money in a body kit or hood

You could always throw a tigershark rear fascia on with a built in rear spoiler.

I have a custom one from ACP. Not quite finished up yet but you can get the genral idea.

Apparently the Mustang forums are so boring he has to come on here and cause trouble. And I doubt you have been "terrorizing" Corvettes since 2003.

BlueCorvetteGirl, I don't believe you posted up and specifics about your car, other than the obvious color. What year, options etc.....

Most Corvette owners just laugh it off when some kid in a Mustang (or any other car) wants to race. Guess he thinks he's just stomping those Vettes when he tears away from the stoplight (while the vette owner casually drives down the road as normal).

Very true, or the Corvette is at a gas station getting gas and he beat them. Just another Rustang troll. Im sure he wont be here very long.

Those that can, buy a vette. Those that can't ,buy a Mustang.I put him in the same class with a moron in a Ford 350 pickup that pulled up next to me in North Carolina, and roasted his tires while stuck in traffic next to me, thinking I would care.It's amazing how they let mental deficient beings have a drivers license.
