Talking sold my 4th gen for this..... PIC heavy

well im finally posting in the "corvette" "vehicle specific forums". and its about damn time.

here is my story. last week i sold my 98 trans am in order to get something different. i kinda got tired of the car and would barly mod it or drive it. so i ended up selling it to a guy i know would take care of it and enjoy it more then i was. so i sold this..


i really loved this car and did everything to it that i could. i almost cryed as the new owned drove away.
yesterday however i got me a new toy witch i love even more.,,







car has kook headers, vararam, electric waterpump, FREAKING FLOWMASTER exhaust that actually doesnt sound bad at all, and it also has a comp cam( not sure on specs). Besides that, it do have alot of suspension boltons as well, but bc the car is so damn low i will have to get the car in the air to see what else is under there.

My plans for this post is to really introduce myself to the ybody crowd and show off my new ride. i have alot planed for this car so as i mod ill keep it posted for future lookers. Also i have the vararam intake that i would be interested in tradeing for some other aftermarket intake if someone is interested.

Nice upgrade. Smart way to buy, let someone else pay for the mods and take the initial depreciation.

Excellent buy! I just picked up my '01 Zo6 Procharged in June and haven't driven my Camaro since.... Because I just rebuilt the motor and supercharged it and it's not done yet lol

The Vette is a whole new beast compared, but it feels so smooth and refined. Enjoy the ride!

ya it really is surprising how much better the c5 rides. i thought it would ride like a damn skateboard with it being lowered and everything but it rides SOOOOO must better. my air damn is only an inch off the ground but i didn't bottom out one time on the 5 hour ride home from picking it up.

I would say a solid upgrade. You have good taste. Your T/A was nice and this is also nice.

Awesome sauce... Now just get some seat time. Just noticed it has a Vararam. Those are a great cam feeder.

Nice upgrade. The Z is definitely a different animal especially in the handling department.
