Default My 99 vette

Hey, just got my vette delivered yesterday. Bought it off the forum and must say I'm pretty happy with the purchase. Its fast and fun for sure, dyno numbers are 414 at the rear wheels. Here are a few pics.










Its really a nice ride, a little to loud for me and I'll change that soon.

Looks great, especially the interior's condition. How much if you don't mind me asking.

Its my second vette, I had a 1990 c4 and there is no comparson. The car has 102k and overall its in great shape. Few little issues to resolve, but, pretty decent car for the miles. Its fast a **** too, just got to work on a couple things. I think I'm the third owner, got it from speed density (tony). Nice guy and got the shipping done pretty quick.

Congrats demarco. Just sold the nxt axle backs and put on some new magnaflows. What a difference in sound, nxt are pretty loud for an old fella like me, one of the board members bought those. He's still young and likes the loud stuff, me I want to cruise and have a nice rumble. He'll like them, you definetly get noticed with the nxt's.

Very nice car, I like the look! Are the rear ducts functional or just stick ons, just curious. The magnaflows sound great on my 01 too! What's the spec on the cam. My car laid down 14 less hp with just a cam, no heads....
