Default My New C5Z

Purchased this car in mid December of 2010. 2002 Electron Blue with under 50,000 miles. Its my first vette and I'm loving it more every day just thought Id share some pics. Bought the car bone stock with the exception of a short shifter. Since then Ive lowered it, tint, shorty antenna, replaced a leaking fuel tank, faulty HUD, failed window regulator, and failed oil pressure sensor. Ive got mild plans for the car for now. First big mod is a set of Kook 1 7/8'' headers and 3'' X-Pipe which should arrive today! Plan on purchasing a Vararam then tune within the next two weeks. Baseline dyno produce 360RWHP which I was pretty pleased with.
Enjoy,
Andrew

nice looking z. eb is a sweet color,. eb was what i was looking for when i ran across the my one i bought. i figured that i would settle for the yellow since yellow z's are faster.. while your waiting on installing the intake and kooks please let your 1st mod be the removal of the bsm's...... makes the car look cleaner and sleeker imo.......
