  • This C5 Corvette is set up to drive! Teo is a great engine builder and he tastefully put this car together himself and is not afraid to step on the gas and throw down! So sit back and enjoy the ride...

    What a fantastic car! Big kudos on a terrific build. Ride height? Perfect. Wheel offset? Perfect. Exhaust? Umm, what's better than perfect? It is *so* easy to get the exhaust wrong behind a 6.2. This, by far, is the best I've ever heard. I'll take this over a $$$$ Akropovic 100 times out of 100. My only gripe - if I may - is that the center stack deserves better than a universal-fit kit for the stereo. What a stunning machine!

    I've had at least one C4, C5, C6 and C7 (currently on my second C6 Z06) and the only one I actually miss, and REALLY miss, is my 2003 Z06. I know the interior was crap and all that but the car just felt so much more light and nimble than the C6 and C7 models (I've driven a C8 but just a few minutes). I did a mild build on my 2003, taking the LS6 up to 474whp, and it was the perfect daily driver. This one is a beauty. Stay safe everyone. Cheers from Florida.
