Default New Car

After wanting one for years, I finally was in position to get my first Corvette. Picked up a 2005 Z51 from a local private seller. She is all stock for now, but I am loving this car. A few pics, need a better camera than my phone.

Awesome car! Nice mileage also. My last one was an '05 Z51 6spd. Great find. You'll love it. PM me if you want the list of mods I did and the things I ran into.

How's it going man? No the seller's name was not Jordan. Time to start modding the car now

Congrats....beautiful ride.

Easy to mod. Choose your mod path accordingly.....if you plan to TT down the road, save your money on the long tubes. Spend the money once, do it right. However, there easy mods you can do in your driveway that produce gains....cold air(\vararam),programmer(intune),FAST102(or90/92)(LS2 manifold sucks), and maybe a factory Z06 catback.

Anywho, congrats....have fun.

Thanks all. Since the last time I posted, I've added a stainless axle back, Vararam, and some cosmetic goodies. I have blackout side markers, emblems, and tails. Car is way louder now after adding the axle back. I imagine it will get much louder and meaner once I throw on the headers and non-catted X pretty soon

Glad to see you're having fun with it!

Sharp looking car! Someday in the future I'll be into a C6 myself!

You will like the gains from the headers, ORX, and tune
