Hello from New England Hey guys, I was sent here from a friend. I just bought a c5 corvette and am looking for some advice as to what mods to do in what order to get the most out of my ls1. The vette already has a borla exhaust, but that appears to be it. I pick it up on friday and will post pics as soon as I get them. I'm from the Northshore of MA if anyone knows of any good spots in the summer to meet up.

Thanks! Yep, I race up at Loudon in NH. I plan to get out to the new track in Jersey, Lightning Bolt and Calabogie this up coming season. Although now with the new toy, it's going to be hard to choose which one to bring to the track days.

Thanks. Bikes fit my budget for adrenaline a lot sooner then cars did. I've had to many close calls on the street though so now all my motorcycling will just be occuring on the track for a while. The corvette is just something to replace that void when I'm not at the track. Now just to make it almost as fast as a bike, haha.

I had a 600cc for about 5 years. I had it up to 150 several times. The adrenaline is awesome and the acceleration and braking felt like a Ferrari. I would love a Vette, its somewhere out of my price range though

I've had a zx12r for a street bike, but then I just used it for drag racing. I have a gsxr 600 just for track riding, and I got an '08 gsxr 750 for the street but unfortunately someone took a left turn in front of me and I totalled that one by hitting their passenger side door. I love bikes, I'm just waiting til I'm done with school before I get another one.
I pick up the vette tomorrow, I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I get home.
