Default New c5 FRC

hey fellas/ladies,

im new to this forum, and the corvette world. first all im having alot of fun with this car, not quite as fast as i would like but she will get there soon. the car i picked up in very good condition for great price. ive came from alot of differnt cars an i hope to settle in this one for quite some time. i got bored with Evos an not being able to slide them at will, an got tired of M3s after countless problems(damn germans) but v8 rwd is by far the best thing in the world. well heres some pics of the car from the other night when my friend took some shots of her. hope you guys enjoy them. (lol o an ino the fake brake vents need to go an the dumb ls1 badge not my doing) the car is a little dirty in the pics due to the rain of the day of the shoot.

Nice ride you bought. If the brake ducts are fake, then good move to want to take them off. However, IMO, the LS1 badge is OK.

Car looks good in the pics. Friend of mine has a white FRC too, they are sweet. Surprised no one has hammered you about the wagon wheels. It took me about 9 months to find the replacements for mine. I haven't taken the time to change my avatar pic yet.
