New guy here - no DSM though...

JohnnyT · 03-27-2013

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:

Before and after all the mods:

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?

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!

Nice whip!

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.

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

**cmspaz** · 03-28-2013

Oh hai.

**Murlo26** · 03-28-2013

Looking good

Now get registered for the cruise!

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:
