I picked this baby up in December from a Corvette Forum member and the only changes I have made were a fresh coat of wax, a new Sears Platinum AGM, and 20% tint.

Car is beautifully modded H/C/I/E Coilovers and much much more as you can see.

I graduated from Purdue May 2011 with a BSME.

Let me know what you guys think of my baby!

Ok I can see them now. Yea I remember when you first bought this car months back and posted pics. Car is phenomenal! Love the cyber gray paint. I would only add two things to your car to really set it off. Nice set of drilled/slotted rotors or a big brake kit and a caravaggio spoiler. Car is stupid sick as is!

TPE T2s. I like them a lot more than the L5s (although both look better than stock)

Bah, drilled and slotted rotors - naw, i'd rather have quality blanks


I do plan on getting this big brake kit in the future. I want to get Yellow to really set off against the cyber grey.

Performance Friction ZR31. Race car brakes (Those are dimpled, they aren't drilled). 2 piece rotors and forged monoblock calipers.

If I keep it long enough or something happens to the LS6, it'll get a big cube LS7 :D


I love the car the way it is though, a seriously awesome machine!

I've seen your car around a few times. It's jaw-dropping and definitely one of a kind. It all works well together. Keep it shiny side up brotha, and best of luck graduating - it's a great feeling :thumb:

Cars looks great. Flares are my next mod. I'm not a fan of the wheels. But thats OK. Lol
I have had nothing but great experience with my drilled and slotted rotors. Over 2 years now. I will definatly get them again if these ever wear down.
Best thing I like about your car is the power upgrade. Over here on the street a stock c5z gets beat pretty regularly. 405 motor hp isn't much anymore.
Nice car.
