Default New C5 owner from ID

Hello,

I am the proud owner of a 2000 black C5 coupe M6!

I have been shopping for a while now and this one sort of fell in my lap at a SWEET price. I am the second owner and the car is stock and in pristine condition with only 69K on the odometer.

I am planning on doing a few mods ...
Cam, intake, TB, tuning, MAF, cat back, headers, suspension, etc.
I'm kinda curious how much input torque the stock Tremec can handle because from what I've seen, the numbers vary a lot.

I also plan on doing some road racing at the track and maybe some open road racing.

I am not new to the C5, this is just the first one I've owned. I am looking forward to getting it all 'personalized' to meet my needs.

I'm sure it won't get done as quickly as I want, but it will get done sooner or later.
