Default Leaving the FI World

Well at least for now...i decided to sell my camaro cause i found a car i could not pass up. So well the camaro is gone and this is in her place.



03 Electron Blue Z06 with 29k miles

BONE STOCK

I dont know if this car will ever get to see boost but it just might happen at some point.

For now i want to keep it stock and see what it will do at the autox and such then maybe start the mods.

The only thing i plan on changing is the dam stock shifter!!!! (if any of the kick *** sponsers in this section got a good one for a good price PM me i need one ASAP)

I am gonna try to take it up to north Shore for sunset tonight and get some KICKASS PICS

Sorry i had to ditch guys FI is deffently kick ***...but its a Vette

well just think of it like this, you upgraded to a slower but potentially faster/lighter car. Which is a win/win in the long run. Plus its a different car just take care of the interior, C5's are garbage when your not careful with the dash and seats etc etc. Good stuff hope you enjoy it!

Did you sell the camaro as is...with the STS kit on it or did you sell it seperately. If you don't mind me asking...how much did you get for it all?

Also, year, mileage, etc on the camaro...again, if you don't mind.

Mine is a 99 with the STS kit on it...38.5k miles on stock engine though. I'm not selling but could be inticed if the price was right...I was thinking about 17k total, probably end up getting closer to 15k+ though .

You should follow this build with your new C5, as I'm sure you'll get bored with the stock thing quick enough. You can't ever go backwards... lol

Nice trade, I think that once I get bored too I'll get a vette. I almsot got one in the first place but wanted to go FI right aways and knew that it wasn't possible. Thats a sweet colour, when/if I end up getting one it will be yellow. Congrats on the new sweet car and start saving for a s/c

sad to see you leave FI, but what did your 370 end up making before you sold it? or did you not test it out?
