eventually most things look different over time because of all that subsequently comes along for comparison. I've had 3 C6's (coupe, Z06 and 427) and now a C7 Z07 M7. I've really come to view the C5 as a "classic" just recently and love it more than ever nowadays. in my mind this gen is just now taking its place among the fellow "timeless" designs and deservedly so. of course the newer gen's are leaps and bounds ahead in performance. but TIME has worked it's powers and so much helped me to appropriately appreciate the amazing CORVETTE on a deeper, wider level. I didn't know that one day I'd feel this way. I've always been completely absorbed in the "new stuff". how superficial ! I've been schooled in a way that I didn't expect and suppose that means I've been gifted with some degree of wisdom in the process. I see I'm not the only one !

I've wanted one since Gran Turismo 3 came out. Finally bought a yellow 2001 Arizona car with 15,000 miles, garage kept. It has genuine new car scent still. Bone stock down to air filter and tires it went 12.61 @ 112 mph with only a 1.99 60' in 2540 ft DA, with a full tank of gas and 230 lb driver. Thats an easy 12.30 car with a 1.90 60' in a better DA, totally stock. These things would have been supercars back when they were new. It's comfortable and gets decent mileage too. The C5 Z06 is the best looking Vette IMO. I like them more than the C6, 7 and 8. They are pure driver's cars. No frills, no extra shit, just a rock solid design for performance. It's a nice car to just cruise around in too.

Some mods/upgrades you may want to do if you buy a C5 Z06 are the Straub bushing LS trunnion UP-grade kit, C6 Z06 Shocks, Hotchkis Sport Sway bar set, and a diff/trans brace kit and an upgraded diff from RPM transmissions if you can afford it. (Different levels of build for you needs, because the diff on the C5 is it's weakest point IMHO). These mods are not really focused at HP increase , but rather for durability, reliability, and a massive handling increase. Of course when you want go fast stuff, you can go with stuff like Texas Speed's 237 ported heads, Fast 102 Intake, Cam, CAI, etc.

I keep waiting for people to say, "Oh wait....these things are worth WAY more than this." And boom....a price hike kicks in.

However, I recently bought a CTS-V Wagon w/ 580rwhp and it's makes my Z06 feel like it's needs a little more power. The power to weight is the roughly the same on both cars, but the CTS-V's torque is comes one so hard by 2000 rpm while the Z06's powerband is starts at around 3500-4000 rpm. I will probably just keep the Z06 NA and enjoy it.

It looks like he has the varam intake though, a true ram air intake. Rather than just sitting in front of the engine like most aftermarket intakes do for the c5, the varam intake tube goes down and pulls air directly from front of the car where the fog lights are. At speed, it is possible to see an increase in hp like that.

Im staring at the original GY's on my car and they say 305/30R18's. Unless I got some sort of dealer prepped upgrade I don't know about, that's how it came. Lucky me I guess.

@@ryanbrown918 Stock is definitely 295-35-18 but maybe someone swapped these out on yours in favor of the 305's. I assume you did not buy it new.
