My new ride

[98tadriver]

My new ride, a 2001 Corvette. Quicksilver metallic with black interior. Automatic, 2.73 rear. Stock for now, only bc i want to see what she does bone stock this tuesday at atco, weather permitting :twisted:

People's responses to going auto have been either "why?" or "thats gay" or both in the same sentence lol. well if they truuuuully knew me, they'd understand why i didnt want to get another 6spd. And i think most of you guys and gals who know me on here understand why too lol.

i actually found the front license plate filler panel in the trunk, i put that on today. yes i know i can get a ticket for it, but out of 5 years with both fbodies being plateless up front and only getting one ticket in franklin twp, ill take my chances :D



pics were taken with my cell phone. ill have to wait until it's sunny again to get some good pics with my brother's camera.

snapped these on the way home on saturday

:drool:

i definately want to the sidemolding delete, and theres a few other appearance mods il do as well

future mods will be- a stall converter somewhere in the 3200-3600 range, drag radials, and of course- intake, full exhaust, tune. I'll go with 3.73-4.10 gears next year. Lowering the car a lil bit wouldnt be out of the question either

Looks good man. Congrats on the ride!

[Blackbirdws6]

Looks clean. Congrats! How many miles?

[sweetbmxrider]

nice vette bro. you shootin for 11's first time out? :lol: can't wait to see it progress

[Frosty]

Congrats man. You'll enjoy it. I miss mine. Side molding delete is a must. A good stall and tune will really wake the car up.

I had the Vararam intake on mine...decent piece.

very nice ron. best of luck with it.

[maroman88]

i like!!!

mines an auto as well, but has the performance rear option, iirc 3:23's or 42's. i did an LS6 manifold, CAI, borla straight pipes and a pcmforless tune (didnt let them touch the shift points) and it breaks the 1-2 shift WAY loose! best car ive ever owned.

join corvetteforum.com and in teh C5 section is ALL of the info u will ever need

[madness410]

nice pick up. dont listen to what people say about auto trannys lol...i had to get one because it was the only camaro i could pick up and i love it...its about personal preference.

and the only front plate ticket i ever got was in franklin township also lol...sucks.

but good luck with the car definitely keep the updates coming and some nicer pics also

very nice, good luck

selling stock wheels? lol

[maroman88]

honestly i like the stock wheels better the some repro Z06's

[MyFirstZ]

i love those black zo6 with chrome rivets. Almost got them on my silver camaro. I love c5's

i have gotten the chance to drive m6's and autos plus the auto c5 my father owns. I honestly felt like the autos were more responsive and almost a little faster

[98tadriver]

if the weather is good tomorrow, ill get some pics at the track. maybe some video too

[B4C]

Sweet congrats man, still dislike the auto part tho :p

[Featherburner]

Good luck with it.

[r0nin89]

So whats the post baseline run plan for it?

As said i bet a TC, 3.73s and a tune would make that thing really wake up.

[btownws6]

looks good congrats

[Blacdout96]

You'll get bored of a performance car like tha that's auto. I can't stand my camaro being auto, so this winter Im converting it.

[Raist103]

[mc73nova]

Very Sexy! Good luck with it.

[CJDZ24_Z28]
