Looking to add some LT Headers and exhaust to open her up a little and beef up the sound. I'd like to hear some C5 Z06 header/exhaust setups to get an better idea of what I should go with. Anyone in the area have a C5 Z with headers and an exhuast?
I've got a setup with a cam, Kooks 1 7/8 headers, and B&B Bullets. It's pretty aggressive.... But should show you the louder end of things if you are interested. I'm in Katy too. Shoot me a PM if you want to check it out.

Anyone know who owns a black C6 convertible Z06 clone in the Richmond area? I saw it at an intersection today near my house. It was completely blacked out. Tinted windows, black wheels, everything. I wouldn't think it was a real Z06 converted to a convertible but ya never know.

Black C6 down Williams Trace early in the morning (around 6:30) while heading to work.

Looked and sounded basically stock but flogged it pretty good down the feeder road doing 80ish. I was pacing behind you but you didn't get on the freeway.

Anyway, it looked pretty clean

Default Hello Houston Area Vette Owners, help please

I recently bought a 1959 Corvette billed as a Resto Mod. The car I believe has resided in the Houston area at least since 2006 until 2009. It sold at auction at the Houston Classic Car Auction in 2006 and again in 2007 and was sold as a consignment at Corvettes and Classics dealership in 2009. The immediate previous owner resides in Enid, OK, which is where I picked it up. The car was on EBay for a short time.

Click on the link to my car in my profile at left to have a look at the beast. Clicking trough on the more pictures link will also bring up a description of the car. The car had a tamer 350 motor when it was in the Houstion area.

The VIN is TSPVR99011. Not a usual Corvette number. It's stamped on the fabricated frame and on a plate riveted to the passenger side door jamb. Anyone know of a shop that would fabricate a frame and suspension and stamp such a VIN on it in the Houston area? Anyone know a previous owner? Are any of you a PO?

Any threads of information would be appreciated. Also your ideas as to where to go from here.

Thanks.

Alan

Went to Best Buy today and when we came out there was a Velocity Yellow C6 Z06 parked way out next to me and then on the same ride home a MY C5 Z06 waved to us. I rarely see yellows, so it was cool!

Toured the shop, it was awesome. There are so many sweet cars there!!! I met Jason and Stephen(sp?), they were both super nice and very informative. I got a nice tour, there were man yellow vettes there it was nice!

Andrew, I snapped a couple of yours up on the lift if you want to see them.

I think I'll be doing LT's and a tune real soon.



The gray one had the Whiplash II in it, the sound was amazing! When I got there Stephen was moving all the cars out so I got to hear a bunch!

I got there at 1:20 and Stephen said you had left like 10 minutes earlier. I planned to get there earlier but I got an offer to shoot some full automatic guns ... needless to say I couldn't turn it down .
