Default First Vette! Second Lsx car

Picked it up yesterday and couldnt be happier unless it was free!

04 Coupe with 40,xxx miles and bone stock!
And I apologize for the blurry photos. Stupid iPhone lol







And the first Lsx car and my first car since I started driving...



So far the Vette' is very enjoyable and cant wait to finish up the camaro and get some sh*t done for the new one

Welcome, to Vette ownership. Is it turbo'd? I see that the engine bay is altered quite a bit.

It is. Forged Lq4 shortblock, 317's, ls6 intake and a Tc7875. Everything is pretty much done besides the fuel system which I ordered over a month ago. Then its break in time and then off to be tuned

I visit SR&K pretty often, just never really post up, and always see your vette in the sig and must say its nice! Makes me want those rims already lol.

Thanks for the kind words. You'll love your new Vette! You'll be tempted seriously for an A&A s/c kit in just a matter of time. The packaging they have for the Vette is fantastic! There kit is completely bolt on w/ zero cutting required.

Haha I wish. But I told myself I wouldn't get anything until the camaro is 100%.
After that... Full exhaust, intake and maybe a cam. We'll see
I do think when time comes I'll supercharge it for sure.

Thanks man! It is. The only thing I've found out I don't like is whoever owned the car, put purple metallic in the paint which isn't normally noticeable, but it'll show up in certain light conditions.
I doubt theirs a way to remove them unless it's sprayed over the original paint? I'll try to get a picture later
