Default Love this thing! Pics

Always been my dream car. Bought it stock and love every second of cleaning it and modding it. Recently redid the interior from interior innovations and plastidipped the rear fascia today. Thoughts?

I am no photographer so bare with me on the pics quality. Cell phone.

Your car looks really good and as a side note, those wheels look very good on the car.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. The wheels are actually not z06 chrome but rather they are called z07 polished wheels. I purchased them from corvette garage but I don't think they are available anymore.

I am really big on little appearance mods so that the average person would not notice them but a car guy would. The car is a sleeper.... Until you hear it. Puts out 427rwhp and 401rwtq.

Damn I love this thing!!!!

Nice looking vette. You say it's a sleeper. What mods did you do to get the 427 rwhp?

I had the halo and targa top wrapped in 3M black gloss vinyl but the targa bubbled up really bad 1 year so I actually just peeled it off a few days ago.

The z07 wheels are c6 offsets wrapped in 305s on the rear with spacers.(I forget what size.)

Okay so maybe sleeper is a bad term. I said it because to a normal person it may seem stock and a 97...

So far I have :
Cold air intake
Ls6 intake manifold
Long tube headers w/ X pipe and Borlas
Ported TB
Ls6 heads
42lb fuel injectors,
Msd wires
231 242. .617 .588 112 lsa. Cam
Dyno Tuned more than once
Oil pump

18/19 z07 rims with ps2
C6 z06 brake kit
Re cover the leather seats, shift boot, e boot (interior innovations)
Tinted and vinyl wrapped top w/ halo
Lowered
