Default My first corvette


Well I traded my Turbo Camaro this past Saturday for this 02 C5Z. The car has all tick hydraulics, borla exhaust, and intake. Car needs a good cleaning and some minor things that I am just ocd about. I have had a lot of LS powered vehicles and built my last car for the strip but never had time to go so I wanted something a lot more streetable that I can drive anywhere and a z06 was first on my list and it just so happened to work out.
