Default Beautiful Procharged C5Z

Hey there everyone! I've been checking out these forums doing research and such for the last 6 months or so. Finally pulled the trigger on a beautiful Procharged Torch Red C5 Z06! I'm coming from an FRS so the power jump has been insane but I'm getting better and more used to it with more and more seat time! I've had her out at a track day and autocross every week I've owned her!

I've absolutely loving owning this beast. It met all my criteria for my next car - had to be reliable, have enough space for some trips, be a performance upgrade, and I didn't want to spend 50k for anything. It checked every box and although I didn't buy it to impress anyone it continues to amaze me how much attention it gets and how much people love seeing the car. Without further adieu, I'm happy to be a part of the Vette family and here she is!

@Gixxerman thanks I'm a huge fan of the low profile/sleepy look! This car had a bunch of other little things in addition to the supercharger that made it a no brainer for me. I'm noticing your name too; I've got a 96 gsxr600 in the garage!
