Congrats and welcome to LS1tech! You now own one of the best sportscars ever made, you will not regret pulling the trigger on your 'vette.

A Vararam would be an excellent first mod if you are eager to start. Next would be to get an aftermarket cat-back to give her some growl. Check out LS1sounds.com for some clips of different setups before you buy.

Then it's decision time. Do you want to keep her N/A or do you want to go FI? If you want to keep her N/A you must get longtube headers and a dyno tune. If you want to go turbo or S/C then you can keep your stock manifolds.

Frequent this site and you will learn volumes very quickly.

nice man! Ya had to be "talked into" it though?

jus4spd

i know its kind of funny but i just dont know anything about vettes i just know i wanted one... so i had to get the best deal, so you think it was a good buy? its funny cause the next day when i took my 1000 down payment in the manager took me into his office and supposedly showed me a site that only dealers see about what sells and for how much at auctions across the U.S. and he said i hope you still dont think we ripped you off i mean look at how much dealers pay for them.... i said well i hope you didnt.

That's not bad for a dealer price on a C5. Around here about the best deal I've seen is 98-99s with 60k+ on the clock for 18. I would've definately paid 20k for an 02 with 49k

nice vette get a hood for it

Nice job. You'll love it, C5s are great cars. I'd go with a Cold air kit and catback first. The catback won't help power much, but the stock exhaust is weak sounding and any mod you do later will require the better intake. Good luck.

vararam inatke
long tube headers
catted xpipe
borla catback
b&m short shifter
tune..... do all those see if its fast enought for you.

if not do some searching on here for a nice 230/230 cam and let her rip. or maybe 150 shot??

good luck modding and very sharp looking car, great price to!

for the price, i didnt think the vararam was worth it, but i did get the Borla exhaust and love it
if you dont have many bad roads or steep driveways, def drop it as far as it can go
its easy as hell and makes it look so much better
