Okay Okay Okay!! I have a PROBLEM!!!! SMDH.
I know I know... But, I "needed" to round out the collection and unfortunately bump the truck back outside.
This happened yesterday evening (actually been studying on a Camaro for a while now - ZL1 vs Z/28 vs 2SS 1LE). This car really is amazing for what it cost. Grip levels right in line with my Turbo S. Simply amazing.

Holy crap, you do have a MAJOR problem! Usually I don’t want other people’s problems, but yours may be an exception…

Big Swole- I have an 02 C5Z in silver as well. I drove it stock for a little while. Then decided to go with CNC ported heads, tsp 228R cam, long tubes with stock Ti exhaust, CAI, sway bars, custom valved bilsteins, etc. You think the car is fun now, rest assured it can get quite a bit better. Have fun!
PS- MGW shifter is a must too.

I be that’s a blast. My only thing is, this car is very high miles but still runs great. Taking it next week to get an inspection and all fluids changed. He’ll let me know the real status of the car. If it checks out, I’ll probably make it a track car (still a street run around too), but won’t spend much on it given the lower value / high miles.
I’m having new tires put on it as I type. So hopefully I’m not wasting money! lol
It drives great for the age / mileage. First owner in NM put a ton of miles on it and must have traveled in it weekly. Doubt it’s seen any real hard miles in the mountains. Hoping to get some more good miles out of it.

Got new skins on the C5 Z yesterday. These weird sizes are very hard to find but went down on the fronts 10mm to 255/40/17's and the rear's were stock size at 295/35/18's.
These Yok's have a weird tread pattern but did VERY well last night on our evening Mountain drive.
Few pics of the Vette getting new shoes....

The night drive last night. Jeff in the 987 Cayman, My better half in her Boxster S, and I took the Vette to break in the new tires...They did very well.
She got in a little hot in a sneaking corner and slid the read but did very well on the recovery (I'll post the clip shortly).
Few pics of the scenic pull off.
