WOW!!! Fantastic pics of your car. Just fantastic! Great car, great pics, it doesn't get much better than that. Well done!

I also think Tony's car is one of the sweetest looking C5s out there. Very tasteful, well cared for, and nicely personalized. It's always interesting to see the varied opinions of vette owners, makes it a diverse place which is nice. I am a mod guy, and like Tony and many others, I do the...

Geesh, a guy shows up once without his corvette to the Cruisefest and the whole state of Iowa is blacklisted. Now I can probably think of a dozen good reasons, but I hope I'm not to blame.... :ugh How about if I buy you a beer Patrick??? :beer Just messin' with ya, except for the buying...

My guess : $35,000 I saw several on Auto Trader asking $36000-$40000 for Anniversary coupe, I do not know what they are actually getting though. Vette Finders: $35,500 , $39,900 (a 19,000mi dealer retail) Ebay: $35,000 vert with under 3500 miles NADA used car pricing: $33,000 (trade-in) to...

Rims: CCW 505a (18 x 10 and 18 x 11) Tires: BFG G-force KD

Looks nice.

I waited until I finally got a few pics of my 99 with my new CCW rims while out in the Black Hills last week.

I have the Borla XR1. Mine has a deep throaty sound, rumbles at idle, screams at wide throttle. Quite loud, its been known to set off car alarms nearby. I have a 422 with a generous cam and supercharger, headers, performance cats, so mine may not sound quite like one would on stock. This is...

Cool pics !! :upthumbs

I just purchased some CCWs from Corvette Garage. I went with the 505a wheels which are a split 5-fork design. I purchased 18x10/18x11s, but you can also order 18x8.5/19x10, 18x10/19x11, or 19x10/19x11. $2595 for the set. Some other package options available. I love the new wheels, and I was...

That is a very sweet car you have there. Why do you want to get rid of her and get a vette? Not being smart about it, but that is the first question to ask yourself. Why drop the Z28 for a vette? What is it you want out of a new vette (drag racing, autocross, street runner, etc). I expect your...

I empathize with you. Lucky they didn't damage the paint. I had my vette keyed several years ago, coincidentally while visiting my daughters at college (U of Iowa). I can't begin to express how ****ed I was that some gutless, scumbag, f'ing piece of chicken**** would do that. I know how you...

I have had a B&M Ripper in my 99 vette for 6-7years (80,000mi). I love it. I've not tried any others, I've had no need to change. It may depend on what you are looking for. My B&M has a nice very short throw, very solid. It has a much more solid/tight/firm feel than stock, it is not a soft...

Anyone have problems with cracked rims before? I have a set of HRE 541's I purchased in 1999. Last year I found a crack in one of my front rims. Sent it to HRE to be replaced/repaired. They supposedly replaced the rim and put my front piece back on, since they are 3-piece rims. I recently...

Very useful post !! I had reason to pull codes tonight. Some additional info to supplement Patrick's original post that I found useful: H = history (may be a solved or intermittent malfunction) C = current Manual mode can be entered at any time during the automatic sequence by pressing any...

My personal experience: I've used BFG G-Force T/A KD on my vette for years (several sets) and love them. I won't switch to anything else, no reason to do so. Excellent dry traction. Not great wet traction, but I don't race when its wet, and have had no problems in the rain. I have the KDW's on...

You have an awesome looking car. I have a 1999 C5 that I just love, heavily modified so she keeps me happy. I wouldn't give her up for a new Z06. That said, if I could find an extra $75,000 I would buy a new Z06 in a second, I think they are fantastic cars! I'm partial to the blue, but saw a...

I have a B&M Ripper Shifter and love it. I've not tried the others to speak about them personally. I have heard good things about them all. B&M Ripper: It's a very solid unit. Throws are about 30% shorter. Throws are much firmer than the soft stock throw, which I like for racing. If you or...

My set up is more extreme, and I have done many additional things to handle the power, therefore maybe not a fair comparison. My only real big problem was belt slipping, due to the poor ATI bracket design and my original builders design. No engine problems specific to the supercharger, but it...
