Sold my car today Sold my C5 Z06,
What a fun, lightweight car. I had a blast owning it, but I am done drag racing. Went 96mph in the 1/8 mile with just bolt ons and a cam this summer in the hot heat in Houston, but it is time to move on. Even though I post on Corvetteforum all the time, I got most of my tech info from this site. Thought I would share a couple of videos of the car. Nothing special, but I had fun with it.

Hehe, I am wrapping up work out there at the Country Club, and I start my business in the fall. He he is going to have a lot more to worry about if he wants a rematch. Looking at going with a stock LS3 car and adding an A&A vortech kit with LT's with cats. I am done drag racing and having loud cars. Next car will be registered for the texas mile in March.
Still waiting on the pics of one or another......HAHA!
Plus, the fiancee wants a nice car that is not obnoxious(not to me
) to ride around in. Had enough cammed cars, just want power now. Sick and tired of taking her newer civic out for date nights.
Yes, I was going to, or do a stroker motor, or blower, but just decided to sale the car. Car runs awesome right now, no issues at all, but decided I want a new car. Getting married within the year, and all this **** is going to end before then. Figure I would build a car that I will enjoy before then, because after that, modding is most likely over.

Thanks and good luck in your search.
Honestly, right now it's not fast at all. Since it has low compression it runs on 87 octane and gets 20 city 28 highway but since you don't want to be tempted to mod it...

No, I just bought an A&A supercharger today for an LS2-LS3 vette. Have a couple that I am looking at. That way, when I buy one, I'll have the kit installed before I bring the car home, and the fiancee won't even know I put a blower on it. Hoping for 550rwhp.
