Default Proud new FRC owner!

Hello all!
Just wanted to check in with the Vette forum. I just purchased a pewter 1999 FRC Vette today. Only has 31,000 miles! Car is tastefuly moded with LG headers and x-pipie, Ti ZO6 catback, xXx custom camshaft, Textralia clutch and flywheel, DTE diff with 6 Speed Inc. ZO6 transmission, rolling on black ZO6 wheels. I am really glad to have found the car I was looking for, and sold my drag project Formula to buy it. I can't believe I own a Vette, and an FRC makes it that much more fun. Thanks for reading, and here are the pics of my wife and I at the shop today (xXx Motorsports) where the go fast goodies are being installed. I cannot wait to get this car on the road!

Thanks everybody! I am going to miss the Formula. I had set it up for racing at the local 1/8th mile, and I will not be drag racing the Vette. This is a car my wife and I can both enjoy. I will be making another drag car project out of a roller Z28 later with an automatic trans this time! The FRC is the family street car.
