I'd like to see the other side of it, it looks like it is sitting with other damaged cars. The one in the driveway looks like a before pic.

I bought it at auction with minor RR 1/4 damage, but as you can see this has been taken care of in the first pic. I ask because this is not your normal standard Corvette. A lot of modifications have been made including, Supercharged & NOS with 7 onboard pc's, bottom/top end work, big headers, etc. I had to re-flash and install the 7th to fire this thing up and Holy hang on, ****, oh dear. A real blast to drive, but not really a street set-up. It feels as if it's place has been on the track and also in the Northern Cali area. Cali license plate read "C5 Racer" when I bought it. That's why I ask if anyone has any history. I do know the name of the previous owner. Russian, I believe. "Owned Steve's C5 Corvettes"? Ring any bells. Just wanted to get some history if possible. Doesn't really matter, I've had quite a few hits at our shop in Indy, so I know it will sell, but you know, you try to get some history on your purchase, if possible. Any info would be greatly appreciated, if not, that's cool too.
Drive fast!

Default Re C5 Racer

I saw this car at speed merchant now goodies speed shop in san jose ca. about 4 years ago.From what i recall it was in to get a check up. I looked it over lots of mods done early in the c5 era..It was a little rough but way cool car.
