SO I'm getting a C5...

It's official, I've sold the TT, and now I'm getting a C5, Black, 2000, 80k miles...
Z51 Suspension...Tint.
Paid 16k.

Any Corvette people want to lead me the right way to pick up the extra HP to put this thing in 11s naturally aspirated?

Anything you suggest I get replaced asap (assuming the worst, although it all looks good)...or anything that might be nice to keep an eye on? Maybe...regular things that go bad? (I know z28s for instance are notorious for window motor failures and overheating radiators-or so i'm told)...

Any advice?

I believe my first upgrade will be z06 wheels, the newer chrome double spokes You know the ones i'm sure.
What about RUN-FLATS...should I get em, or just replace tires all the time?

Any help is appreciated!!! I'll post pics in the Eye-candy section when it gets here (shipped from Cali).
<3 Jamie

We just did cam, headers, UD pulley and a couple of other things on tiki's - stay tuned to that thread for performance numbers.

I've been in the market for C6's for months now, it does take forever for what you want to pop up. Congrats.
