thanks for the warm welcome. ive found about 20 cars that ive been drooling over. i want a 02 Z, but i think my cap(or my wifes cap) of 25k is not quite high enough for a Z. a FRC is really probably more than enough for me.
what do you guys suggests for first mods? zip-tie, whatever that is. LTs, a tune? i really need to get up to date on the LSx motors, as ive only had expiernece with LT1's.

I got an FRC last year down in LA for $17.5!!!!
My first mod was new wheels....got rid of the wagon wheels ASAP plus I needed tires badly. Then I did the column lock bypass (read about it on corvetteforum), headers and catback, airlid, then LS6 intake. This spring I stepped up with a new clutch, beefed up rearend, line lock, diff brace, and some ET streets. Oh and HPtuner (though I haven't done much tuning)

seems like the going rate for F-body LS1 cars is in the 8-10k range. im partial to camaro's, and from reading the FAQ it seems like paying the slight premium(if you can call it that) for a SS isnt worth it, as they all left the factory a Z28's, you just dont get the cool hood/spoiler.

welcome aboard. hope ya get a vette, as we need another in our group as one just left us (Jon). If ya can swing a Z06, then you have a package that can't be beat. Check out my sig for insight with very few mods, the n2o run not even headers. The FRC is a great platform to build from and $$ effective. keep us updated.
