Default My new vette!!

Here you go I think the car looks pretty good!

I sold the formula and picked this up for a GREAT price!

Bone stock 99 Sebring Silver A4 with 8K miles! (not a typo!)

Eventual mod plans include:

Zip tie mod
TCI SSF 3500 converter and cooler
Z06 catback
160 stat
Programming
Rims and tires

Hoping for mid 12's on a sticky street tire with all the comforts of a stock vette.

Congrats, that's a clean looking car. I just picked up a silver one myself about 3 weeks ago.

Congrats, nice ride. I would at least do the exhaust system. You'll gain a lot of torque with headers.

Here is a picture of my new C6 w/Z51 performance package. I like my 02 Camaro SS, but this thing is like a rocket. My SS has 384/rwhp and 381/rwtq and the C6 seems faster.

Just curious, about how much did you spend on it. It is a very clean car for a 99.

The C6 looks SWEET in Black! Remember, It is lighter than the Camaro and probably has about 352 rwhp stock. So the weight difference probably makes up for the extra HP.

He paid $33k CDN for it, which is a great price up here! I paid the exact same for my 98 last summer, with 32k on it.

Kudos! Great price on a low mileage example. You will never go back to an F-body after you own a vette..... ask me how i know.

The C6 w/ less rwhp will probably feel faster, cuz it might be. The C6 weighs less and is probably only 20 rwhp shy of your f-body.
