Default Bought a C5!!! From ECS....

Was Chris' personal car than became a track car. But they pretty much gutted it and built it to what I was more looking for.........

2001 Coupe black/black w/29,000 miles
LS6 motor (only 5,000 miles on it)
6 speed- RPM level IV trans
C6 Z06 shifter
Z06 clutch
Vararaam Intake
AR long tubes and high flows
GHL catback
Z06 shocks and sway bars
C6 Z06 chrome rims
ACI high rise hood and spoiler
Roll cage
and a pretty decent system in it.....

Love it!!!!! She rips!

Here are some pics:
