Default 1st Corvette...Whatcha Think

whats up folks. my name is daniel and i live in montgomery, tx, about 30 minutes north of houston. i have owned 4 f-body's before this vette. 99 trans am, 02 trans am ws6, 95 z28, and my current 98 z28. so i finally decided to step up. this is a 99 A4 w/ 79k miles, it also has the 3.15 gears and sport seats. im really pleased with it. it doesnt have any of the symptoms ive been reading about that some of the vettes have. ive been a member over at ls1tech since 2003, so im not new by any means, but new here.











I took this with my iphone, but its my favorite pic. it looks sick.

dude... grats! When i got my car bone stock it ran a 13.6, just putting in the vara-ram intake put me into the 12's. Literally everyone that rode on my car felt the difference from that thing. I'm not usually a beleiver that you can "feel" bolt-ons... but the vararam intake is a worthy upgrade!

thanks man. thats nice to know, cuz i didnt know if i should do exhaust or vararam first. but i think im gonn to the vararam firt now and then exhaust. im thinking zo6 ti with the ti mod and then i will get an ls6 intake. and then tint the windows. that will probably be it for a little while. i have a 98 z28 that ive put over $14K in with over 400rwhp, so im gonna keep that as my hot rod. i just wanna be in the mid to low 12's with my vette and i will be happy. thanks again man.
