Default Back in a c5 again, third times a charm ;)

So I got tired of the constant upkeep of owning a track oriented car so I decided to get back into something that was much more enjoyable. I picked up this thing earlier this week and could not be happier to be honest. 1999 Nassau blue frc, I lowered it as soon as I got home and got tags in it lol

Thanks, I added some c6z reps, got the windows tinted, put a c5z titanium catback on it and a blackwing. I should have the rest of my exhaust next week and have an ls6 intake to throw on while I am in there.

Beautiful car, drooled over a local onpe before buying mine. The new wheels, tint and stance look great. Amazing how little changes can make a car look completely different. You didn't waste much time.
