I like reading build threads, so figured I'd share mine here too.
I'll start from the beginning and work my way up to where I'm at today.
I picked up a 2002 C5 Z06 in May of 2010 nearly bone stock minus a C6Z shifter, flowmaster axleback, and other small goodies like a shorty antenna, partition, etc. It had 28k miles on it when I bought it - figured $22k was a pretty reasonable deal considering it was super clean and local. Here's how she looked the day I bought her:
The first 'season' I got a few basic things done - tinted the windows 20% , installed a Vararam CAI and lowered the car using C6 bolts and longer rears. I somehow managed to find my dream set of wheels locally on Craigslist - CCW SP500s. 18x10 fronts with 275/35s and 19x11.5 rears with 305/30s. I replaced the Blowmasters with a Borla XR-1 catback and got it tuned by Carl @ CJTunes. She put down average #s - 360whp/355wtq. After season one here's the refresh:
