1999 Torch Red FRC, new ride for me:)
Some shots of the car as it looked when I purchased it. I bought the car reasonable with 140k miles plus. Owner took great care of the car from what I could see and it ran very well.
Cruised it home from San Diego to CO, avg 31.7 mpg at 85 with a/c goin. Not a burp the whole way

Have quite abit more planned for the car, been gathering up quite a bit of stuff to date. Just been blipping it around the area workin out some bugs that have came up till I take it all apart and put all the goodies in
Some of the stuff I been pickin up here and there
Pro charger with flip drive and alky kit
19/20 forge star CF5s
08 Z06 BBK
Toyo 345/25ZR20 rears
CF flared quarters
B&B Bullets
Complete Z06 Mod Red interior (04)
Still need a clutch, LG super pros, and a bangin double din set up. Once the quarters are on she will get a complete respray and I should be good to go for a bit.
Thanks for checking in

Congrats on your C5. Sounds like it had some nice mods when you bought it and you have planned some very good ones to install.
