New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Hey fellas,

Not sure what I'm doing here yet, but Knoxville's been trying to recruit me for awhile so here I am. Name's John. My toy's not a DSM, but a C5 Z06. I know I know. A ton of my friends have or had an EVO so I'm fairly familiar with them, and I know a few others on here from meets/other forums/college, etc.

Enough about me, you don't care.

Let's see...about the car. It's an '02 C5Z with a few things done to it. Nothing too crazy but a plenty fun all-around car.

What I've done:
- Cammed
- Full exhaust
- E85 - 422whp/405wtq.
- Lowered a bit
- Tint
- CCW SP500 - 18x10/19x11.5
- Corbeau A4 seats
- Mantic ER2 clutch
- C6Z shifter
- Few things I probably forgot...

I still have to throw on a new ported intake mani/tb, retune, get a new lip kit painted/installed and throw on some T1 sway bars.

So yeah, here she is and glad to be here!

First off, here's the dyno vid:

Welcome! Nice looking car!

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Nice looking Z06, welcome!
Did Carl street tune it or on MAP's dyno in the pic?

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

JT sell me your car.

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Nice looking car.

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Thanks!

Yeah, Carl street tuned it. I just dyno'd at MAP. I was wondering how you knew he tuned it in the first place, but I'm guessing my sig gave it away?

Sure AJ, what are you willing to pay?? :)

Thanks!

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Yea, your sig. He tuned my old vette on e85 too.

Welcome

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

$3.50

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Oh very nice. Details? Any parts leftover?

:rollinglaugh:

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Very sharp! C5s look so much better with the door bump strip removed. I was pretty set on getting a c5z about 2 years ago, but i bought a bike and a benz instead.

Anyway, cool car!

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Nice whip!

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Thanks! Yeah they were off before I bought the car otherwise they would've been stripped the second I got it home. Nice choices - toys are good haha.

Thank you, sir.

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Welcome, and nice Vette. Always had a soft spot for those cars, definitely sounds like a fun setup you got.

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Oh hai.

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Looking good :) Now get registered for the cruise!

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Thanks! Yeah, a C5Z has been my 'realistic' dream car since market prices really came down a few years ago. It's pretty tough to beat for value/dollar - 405hp, cheap insurance, 30+mpg on the highway, proven and pretty reliable, great handling and it's fairly reasonable to mod/maintain. Interior's nothing to write home about but HUD is nice and I can read and clear DTC codes from the dash.

Since everyone likes video, here's one of the car when I just got it back from the cam install. Just a quick idle/rev vid but people were bugging me for one when I got it back:

Skip to about 50 seconds in....

Oherrow!

Thanks, Dave. I'm going to probably in a week or so. Looking like I should be able to make it.

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Drooool! I love your car! I caught the C5/6 bug this winter.

Welcome to forum!

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Man, knock this shit off! Next thing I know I'll be out shopping for a C5Z for my self!

Re: New guy here - no DSM though...
 

Very nice car. Hopefully I find one this spring. How does this compare to the new z06?
