Default Noob here with intro and pics of my torch red F45 coupe

Hey guys,

Great forum you have here, I have learned tons!


I am finishing up med school right now in AZ, and this is my second C5.
I sold my first one when I started med school in Missouri, but, since returning, the AZ scenery just begs to be driven.

Been mainly into modifying imports for performance over the years since they are more budget friendly, so I have lots to learn about v8's.


I still have my Honda and drive it when I want a comfortable car, lol.


Here is my hatchback, had it for several months and have been doing things here and there to get it where I like it.
It has a bbk throttle body and intake manifold (a z06 would have been fine) but the bbk is shiny, lol.
Not sure which mufflers are on it, but it's pretty quite.
Oh, and I just got some sheepskins and tint which are mandatory for the desert.

here was my first vette, all stock and mint.






And the TR coupe when I first got it and lowered it.





z06 wheels










L]








here's my boosted honda with my friends Raven.





Next on my list are some high flow cats, z06 c6 shocks, and later a z06 cam


And a random pic from my trip from MO to AZ

Torch Red is the only color they make, right?

Hey, soon enough you'll be able to afford a ZR1. Oh, wait, I forgot about Obamacare . . .
