Holy crap... 330HP in a family car?! That's insane (and fun!). I like the color too.

Hey Dan, yeah my wife knows and it was surprisingly easy to get this one through her. I actually wasn't even looking for a car, let alone a vette, but this sort of fell into my lap at an unbelievable price. It as one of those times when all the stars aligned!

Punk, thanks man. This is a 2001 C5. It's got Kooks headers,LG Motorsports G5X3 cam kit, Roll Master double roller timing chain,ASP Under drive pulley kit 160 degree thermostat, Comp Cams 921 spring kit, Ported oil pump, C6 brake calipers/rotors, C6 Exhaust, X-Pipe, high flow cats, custom leather seats, aftermarket rims/tires, aftermarket cowl induction hood, and only 46k on the odometer. Also, its a six speed manual transmission.

It puts over 400HP to the rear wheels (been dyno'd).

I honestly think the nighthawks were one of my favorites back in the day. My uncle had one and I always thought it had great lines. I never rode it but I hear they can get up and go pretty good. Very nice bike! Good catch.

Good job with the six speed

I've had three V8 F-bods, 94 Formula firebird, 96 Z28, and 99 Camaro SS.. All but the 94 Formula had the six speed. The auto is so boring compared to rowing through six gears of the LS1 motor

Enjoy, they're fun cars

Here's my,,,,,,I mean my kids' new toy. Honda XR 70, pretty good deal on Craigslist. I had to go out and make him come in that evening. It was completely dark out, but he was still buzzing around the yard.
