Step, step , step.

I had a 2001 in that color. Added a Lingenfelter twin turbo kit and it ran 10.0 at 140mph at 4600ft DA. Had a C6 Grand Sport and a C7 ZO6.

The C5 was my favorite by far.

Well done !

Thanks folks!

This is a higher mileage example but still nice. Not much money in it, so it’ll be fun to have a sporty run around and for days I want something more raw and old school!


Oh , and I know I’m way off topic from the name of this thread. I kinda just use this one now as a “catch all” for updates. But mainly for post pics / vids / updates on the 991.2 Turbo S.

Needs a blower, perhaps...?

I’m going to resist any mods. I want to experience it stock for a while at least. Since I don’t have too much tied up in it, I may do something like that in the future if I do a engine build or something crazy but I have my turbo S for my extremely fast car and then this is my middle range car along with the supercharged Honda S 2000 for my convertible fun car..

I had a deposit on and actually lost the $500 deposit on a LS7 swapped C5Z06 that made mid 500s to the tires. I just decided that I did not want to risk spending too much money on a modified vehicle, without knowing too much more about it. Since I had always wanted one of these, I figure, I will experience it in stock form and then maybe do something else later if I really enjoyed the car.

I hear ya; I'm holding off (painfully) putting a blower on my RST until the warranty is done - those small blocks are just sooooooo good with a blower.

Your restraint is admirable.

@Big Swole ... Out of all the Corvette gens, I think the C5 has the sexiest dash.

And I hope you never try to cure your "problem."

barncobob

are U hankering for some Pabst Blue Ribbon?

You will want a Hurst short throw.

RadarP3C

I'd check out an MGW short throw as well as the Hurst. Both are real nice shifters for the Corvette.

Big Swole

Don't get me wrong, it'd be nice to have more hp but since this isn't an expensive vehicle (comparatively speaking) I want to enjoy having a vehicle I don't really have to worry about. Park anywhere and run errands with and just relax and enjoy.

I agree on the dash as well.

lol There's no hope to cure it anyway.

Not so much...lol.

I'm a little more picky on my beer taste.


I really don't mind the stock shifter and throw to be honest. Maybe in the future if I mod it, but for now I'm really gonna try to leave it alone, minus a few small things to make sure it reliable.

It needs a matching set of good sticky tires first.

Congrats! I’d be willing to bet that the mod rabbit hole starts sooner rather than later, just saying…

This.

What about…. Meth. Is that a thing for these vettes?

Probably when he converts it to a diesel...
