Default new FRC owner

Just sold my 2003 cobra, and picked up a 2000 FRC vette. by far the best move ive made, and i couldnt be happier! ive previously owned a couple WS6's, STi, things like that, and the corvette is my favorite so far!

The rundown:

2000 FRC


Comp Cam
Dual valve springs
RPm Differential 3.73 gear
DTE transmission Brace
Ram single disc clutch
Remote Slave Bleeder
Kooks headers
off road x pipe
Corsa Sport Exhaust
Halltech Cold Air intake
C6 corvette wheels
Baer Brake rotors
Stainless Steel lines
Hurst Short Throw
Red illuminated interior buttons
20% tint
zo6 brake ducts
zo6 seats

I snapped some pics with my buddies road race EVO, and another friends cam only GTO, both of thier cars are very fun!




















Ive taken the vette around autobahn road course in joliet, illinois already and it outperformed any of previous cars. and for anyone wondering "Scene it!" is a joke, founded to mock a group of scenester kids from around my town that founded a group called "seen it!"

if your interested in a "Scene It!" sticker, pm me, i can get the c5.r stickers made as well!

Congratulations. Awesome choice in body type. lil biased myself

...was once lost myself in the cobra world...then I saw the light. Anyways, have fun with it. Looks like your getting a head start with the mod list as well. Some really good mods,...pretty much everything you basically need for the most part....

She looks a little high... you can lower these cars pretty easily just by adjusting a few bolts. Pretty cool considering the lengths we'd have to go to to lower the cobra.


Good looking girl in the first pic as well. She deserves a mention. Enjoy the car,...they are alot of fun.

Cute girl BTW!

I have to echo J here. Any chance you'll do heads in the future ? TFS 215's is my suggestion. Milled to 59 cc's if you have proper clearance. You have specs on the cam ? Give Ron at Vengeance a call for the TFS 215's when you are ready, number is in my sig.
