Default 01 Red C5 Z06

Hello,

Just joined the forum and picked up a 2001 Red C5 Z06 from SoCal middle of this week. I love the car as its one of my dream cars.

38k Miles on the odometer.





My old complaint is the back end while driving feels very floaty/loose. It moves a lot from side to side while on the highway. I wondered if it was because of 1) the bigger tires and the grooves in the road or 2) an issue with the rear.

I also thought it was bone stock but when I did the smog, it has a black wing intake. I am going to take it to LVMS next weekend to see what she can do
