Sleeper vette

[93gtpeater]

Well I sold my black 99 c5 and picked up this beast. It's also a 99 but only has 60k miles on it and has a built 408 ls motor. I don't have the build sheet but did get it dynod when I picked it up. Made 530 whp and 500 trq. The guy that owned it was in his 70s and had hitech build the car back in 04. He passed away and his kid wanted the car gone. I will update this with build sheet when I get it.

I want to keep it stock old man looking on the outside.

Plans?
Tint
Factory wheels kinda want the 5 spoke chrome wheels
Upgrade shocks
Lowering bolts
Better seats

Goals?

Would love to make a 10 second pass at the end of the year. If not I will try real hard to do it next year.

Looks clean, congrats! Nice to let someone else pay the mod bill sometimes!

sounds like you got it for a good price. But that thing is sleeper for sure.

Yes it's a total sleeper. Would like to keep it that way.

530 is good power for a 408, must have good heads and cam combo. Any exhaust mods? Targa ftw, looks nice! Can c5 lower a good inch or so on stock bolts like c6? Mine went pretty low when I had it.

For suspension are you thinking coil overs, or drm shocks, or cost effective like c6 z51 take offs?

It made really good power for what I thought. Right now it has Chevy 317 heads that they ported. Exhaust it has long tube heads but I don't know what size they are. No cats and it has a Borla cat back exhaust. Sounds pretty good and pretty quiet when cruising down the road. Wish I love since my old car was to loud cruising down the freeway. I am sure with better heads it could make more and some e85.

Idk what the stock bolts can do. I haven't looked into it yet same with the shocks. Whatever is the best bang for the buck is what I will go with.

Congrats! Looks really nice. That parking lot and power lines look eerily familiar!

Please replace those God awful ricer cannons while you're at it :lol:

I like your plans on some nicer factory wheels. For suspension, were you thinking upgrading to something aftermarket or doing a C6 shock/bar swap?
