Once I get this steering column lock issue sorted I'll have better pictures of my new toy!!

Glad to see I'm not the only defector

Its a borla axle back personally I like my cars loud so catless h pipe and headers will be done soon. As for the column lock that already happened!! But the guy before me just hadnt had the recall done so it was free!

I'd go for some new wheels first, maybe some c6 Z06 shocks and Z51 sway bars, then HIDs.

BTW make sure you have a column lock bypass installed, and only use top teir gas.

Got stopped by a silver C5 Z06 on my third day, apparently Vette owners notice when a new one moves in to the neighborhood!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Welcome to the madness! You think the "mod bug" hit you with the S2000... wait till you peruse through the C5 forum and see some of the BADASS C5's on here. You will get some great ideas and learn a whole heck of a lot!

And a '98 with 25K..... You have a nice ride there! Good luck! Drive safe! And most importantly remember......
