Picked up an 02 c5 6 speed manual corvette couple of months ago. I was contemplating a bunch of cars. Was contemplating a few cars but it had to be a coupe, and have a big v8, and fairly easy to maintain. Hands down I was getting a c5. Plans are to keep her stock save for bolt ons, but no cams, and a tune from Dezod Paul. I think some black c6 zo6 speedline wheels would look sick on it also. Also planning on doing the tinted top to break up the gray a bit.


When I got it home. I know I ruined the shot with me in it.






Finally find some. c5 zo6 titanium exhaust. Louder than stock but not obnoxious and no drone. They look like crap but they should show that sick blueish tint at the welds once I get done cleaning and polishing them.


Me and my buddy's murdered out built 2010 c6 zo6. His 'car' puts out 669hp and somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 lb of torque. You hear him LONG before you see him.

Updated the look by painting the rear fascia. I feel like I have took a couple of years off the car. It also makes the rear look lower than what it is. All I need now is an exhaust plate and some black wheels.

A few small updates. It is just about where I want it to be. My whole objective was to make some years off the car by going with LED tails, Bi-xenon projectors, Led switchback DRLs and some wheels. I ended up ditching the titanium Z06 exhaust for a new system because I wasn't getting that crackle burble and pop like I needed. The only thing I really need now are a set of coilovers so I can lower it correctly, and a tune. I just recently received an email from Jeff Evans (he does all my etuning for the civic) that he is going to start tuning domestics :eek5:.



These are Radio flyer innovations C5 bi xenon projector headlights that still utilize the factory pop up function. He makes a fixed set that removes the pop ups all together but I am partial to the the retro pop ups. Makes night driving 100x better.







Radio flyer's LED switchback DRL. For the DRL function they glow bright amber and when the headlights are turned on they glow brilliant white. I also wired these in the act as my signal lights also so they flash off-amber-off and white-amber-white respectively. These make the front of the car appear very modern.





Radio flyer LED tails. These are modded so the lights keep a Halo pattern lit during operation. Also new XS power catback exhaust.



Finally got some stock C5Z06 wheels sized 17x9.5 in front and 18x10.5 and powder coated them gloss black to blend in with the painted rear valence. The stocks are 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 I also went up one size in tires. Fronts are 255-45s Sumitomos HTR Z II and rears are 285-40s crazy sticky Nitto 555s.





Small shoot I did with my cousins Camaro before I put the wheels on.

Got around to taking an actual collage shot of the DRL LEDs and headlight bi xenons.



Finally a pic with the wheels on. C5 z06 oem wheels powdercoated black with 255-45-17s up front and 285-40-18s out back. Did my research on how wide I could go and decided 285 with some sticky nitto 555s would be more than enough.
