Looks great. Glad you got the fast one. Have you bought a shifter yet?

I have yet to buy anything for it yet. going to let the dust setting some at the house....wife would not be happy to see me turning wrenches on the car right now....

But I have the shifter and Magnaflow catback on the shortist! just have to decide which shifter. I like the B&M I had in the Z28 but it was a race car so noise was not an issue, so I guess that leaves the UUC or Katech, right?

All 3 are good choices. I've never used a b&m but people on here wrap them with dynamat to quite them down.

Second on the color thing, those gray/silver/vomit puke people are annoying, just backhand them to put 'em in their place; the butt stain Red crowd are also a whiny bunch. The front end looks very damn clean for an '04/'05, hopefully the inside and motor received equal care. Good choices on the shifter and exhaust upgrade, third upgrade should be a dyno tune.
Good luck, keep 'er clean!!!

the car is 9.8 out of 10, unreal!! inside looks NEW, outside has a few minor things that you have to look hard for. I am 3rd owner the previous 2 treated it nicely. has 39k miles on it.

Tuning begins next week. getting a base MPG number as a DD and then I will start tuning. Dyno will be sometime when we can sneak in there so the local yocals dont mess up what is trying to be done
