Here is my new C5 just bought it a few weeks ago. It's a stock LS1 A4 vert. Got one hell of a deal on it. Look forward to doing some modding in near future once I save some more money. Might try adding LS6 heads, cam, intake, to get a bit more hp. Any suggestions are welcome...

Welcome, the vette needs to loose that wing.lol. Totally does not fit a vette IMO. The tailpipes look a little crooked as well. That devil head on the hood is a little too much. The flames aren't bad just that head. Those things over the side vent looks out of place to. How many miles does the car have? What is your goal power wise for the car?

Congrats! Beautiful, unique flames! Not a fan of the rear wing, but nice car. Wish I had two...

I wasnt a fan of the rear wing when I bought it. Then I put the top back and cruised up in the mountians and loved the little whistle the wing made around 70 plus mph. Any Duke fans on here would like the Blue Devil reference, I could either take it or leave it, but since I'm in Carolina, figured this would turn some heads. As far as hp goes, I'm looking to reach the 400+ range. Just enough to get by without spending too much money...besides, the C4's last dyno placed 524rwhp about a year ago. It's my sleeper. The C5's going to be my daily driver.

Ha Ha, Bgreen83 is right about suggestions, but I was refering towards mods, however, to each his own, I'd at least send a WAVE out to him for his outstanding opinions...

Ready, FIRE! Aim.

Thinking and typing are two separate functions....kind of like walking and chewing gum at the same time.
