Newbie in ND
Hi everyone. James in Fargo ND. I purchased a 2003 Black C5 convertible today. It has 76k on it. Interesting past. The previous owner had a ZO6 motor installed/ Built transmission and rear end. It was tuned at Dynotune USA in SD after getting vengeance racing vrx4 camshaft, new springs and retainers. Magnaflow exhaust and headers. Truthfully I don't know much about all that stuff but man this thing is nasty. I look forward to being on this site and learning a lot.

Looks like a nice, and very potent, C5. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum.

Congrats, very nice. I love your state. I do a lot of pheasant hunting there.
