First time here
I just bought my 2001 C5 about a month ago, and thought I would post a few pics of it. Lots to learn, never owned a car like this. The original owner put in a stage 2 cam, LS6 heads, Z06 intake in the motor. Many other upgrades to suspension, exhaust, as well as customizing the interior. I really thought it was a beautiful car, so I bought it. Would be interested in hearing some advice on what is common with an LS1 motor, and any other kinds of advice you may have.

Thanks eh! LOL. I rarely say that, maybe that is rare in a Canadian. I have to admit, I love driving it. Problem is, I can't get out of third gear. Its way to much for the streets, but I have to admit, the minute I drove it, I wanted it. Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Congrats on your new car. It looks great and has some very nice mods already done to it.

Can't agree more on both counts. I will be honest here. I have an '84 Z28 that I have owned for sixteen years now. Its still all original, with the 305 H.O., and in excellent shape for a thirty year old car if I do say so myself. My wife and I were down in Florida, and we took a C6 out. I had to admit, I was disappointed. My Z28 handled better than it. A LOT BETTER! I was thinking of sinking $20,000 into it, and fixing the only thing that was really wrong with it. It wasn't manual. To make a long story short, she convinced me to look around here, and I saw this one. I was about fifteen minutes into the drive, after a very long inspection. I was starry eyed I guess. I just couldn't get it out of my head. I bought it. No complaints so far.

Welcome and congrats on your new ride. That is one beauty and a keeper. Millenium yellow has always been one of my favorite 'vette colors. Enjoy and have fun!
