Well as some of you know a C5 Corvette has always been a dream car of mine. Recently I sold my 2005 SRT 4, and the whole month and a half prior I had been on the search for my dream ride. I went on Monday with a buddy to take a look at it in NJ, and fell in love instantly with the color. It is called Pewter Metallic and it is a mix of Silver and light tan, and really pops and is not one of the typical vette colors people are accustomned to.

So Tuesday 5/8, my 25th Bday, things fell into place and I was able to make the trek 2 hrs back to get the car with my fiancee. It has been nothing short of spectacular! It even came with some mods already, most of which will be switched out for a better product over time as I save up.

Here's some specs:

1999 Corvette LS1 Pewter Metallic with 74k on the clock
6 Speed Manual Gear Box
Z51 Suspension Package: (Beefier Sways, Stiffer Shocks and Springs, PS Cooler)
Dual Zone Climate Control
12 Disc CD Changer
Memory Seat/ Mirrors
Black Leather Interior
Blue Tinted Glass Targa Roof

Mods to Date:

SLP Powerflo Catback
Bassani X Pipe
B&M Short Throw Shifter
C6 Oem Shift Knob
Dual Cone Intake
Drilled and Slotted Rotors
AMW Catch Can
160 Degree Tstat

Tuned to 327hp to the wheels as it sits currently. Already got rid of the horrible chrome headlights and replaced them with the stock ones with freshly painted covers, and also replaced the broken gear with a brass one. Also recharged the AC as well.

The best part, I picked it up for less than I sold my SRT for!!! Total Win!

Enough of me typing let's get to the car!!! Only had time to snap from the phone obviously better pics to come!!
