Default First Vette, 2000 vert
Hello, I just bought a 2000 magnetic red vert at the Indy Mecum auction a couple of weeks ago. Car has a lot of bling under the hood, a pretty loud exhaust (sounds like the Corsa Indy Pace Car clips on line), sounds like a fair-sized cam, and has been custom tuned. I'm currently making some tweaks to the tune to correct among other things the engine going quite lean, probably at least a 16 afr based upon what the narrow-band sensors are showing. My daily driver is an Vortech-blown 03 Avalanche that I do all of the tuning for. Plan on taking the Avalanche on the Hot Rod Power Tour in a couple of weeks.

Here's a shot taken before it rolled across the Mecum block.

Not sure but guessing by what I can see and listening to online sound clips, I think it has a Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust.

Not sure why the underhood pic isn't showing...

Here's an underhood shot as well as a shot showing some rear suspension bling. I've also got a shot somewhere showing long tube headers...
