Default My First Vette C5 2000 FRC

Hello everyone!
I bought this car a couple of months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I bought it with the intention of beating up on German and Japanese cars at the track. Maybe that sounds a bit optimistic, but I have some experience and firmly believe in American engineering.

She’s a 2000 FRC track build, but it seems like she spent very little time on the race track and mostly sat in the previous owner’s garage.

There are some controversial exterior mods, but most of them actually serve a purpose for racing applications, so don’t judge us too hard. 😄

Right now, I’m fighting emissions codes and trying to get the car registered (located in SF, California).

Doesn't look controversial at all from the 1000yd pic lmao

Do you have any pics you can share that have the car and camera in the same time zone?

Car looks great! What could be considered controversial?

What work has been done to the suspension?

Thank you 🙏 the wing, the hood vents, tow hooks and wrap. I got some comments, and I do know it's not a canonical car's collector condition but it should work on a race track.

Suspension:
Godspeed coilovers.
Sway bars and links and other parts went through full rebuild.
