Default Not Really New But...

...I finally have my C5! I owned a '72 Coupe 20 years ago and have been through many classic cars since then. But now I'm back in a Corvette and loving it! It's an '03 auto and has some mods including
Vette Doctors Head/Cam package - Ported and Polished LS6 heads, Custom camshaft, upgraded springs, double roller
timing chain, etc. American Racing stainless Headers, Corsa Touring Exhaust, GTR tips, Halltech Stinger Intake, 3.42 rear end from a Z06, hardened output shaft. Vigilante 2800 stall converter, Elite Engineering tunnel plate, Line Lock. It's making 419rwhp. It's a blast to drive and I'm loving every minute!
