Turb0_Tom's 2005 Chevrolet Corvette

The 1969 Chevy Camaro is the vehicle solely responsible for me getting into cars in the first place. I came across one in Chevy Power when I was about 13 years old and it was love at first sight. Ever since, I have still thought it is one of the best looking cars ever made.

The engine is a 350 with AFR 195cc aluminum heads, a Comp Cam w/ .490 of lift, Hooker Super Comp Headers with ceramic coating, Power Master mini starter, double roller timing chain, Quickfuel Q jet, 750 mechanical secondary carb, MSD distributor and wires, MSD 6AL Box, Blaster coil, hardened push rods. All of the above was installed within the last 2 months. Motor has approximately 20,000 on lower end. The tranny is a TH350 with a shift kit and B&M hole shot 2400 stall. It was rebuilt 2800 Miles ago. Rear End is a 10 Bolt Chevy Auburn gear limited slip diff with strange street/strip axels with Richmond 355 gears, completely rebuilt 2800 miles ago. The body has new fenders, 2 inch cowl induction Hood, lower valance, header panel, inner fender wells, grill, head lights, tail lights all marker lights, hood hinges, front fender extensions, door handles, mirror, new quarter panel patches, front and rear bumpers, gas tank, side louvers, weather stripping kit, rockers, trunk, floors all in great shape. New American thunder 2.5 flow master exhaust with stainless tips, front suspension rebuilt, front body bushings replaced and all new calipers, rotors, pads, and trunk carpet. The paint is PEPPER GREY, the same exact color as Eleanor in Gone in 60 Seconds, with Black stripes. The interior is all new, with a custom gauge package, auto meter ultra light gauges with a Covan's classic dash insert, B&M pro ratchet shifter, and a Grant steering wheel. The car has MB WHEELS 16 inch rims with Yokahama tires. This Car has no heat or A/C, and the fire wall has been shaved for neater appearance.

Nice Vette!! I like the rims, subs, amps, custom box, and the factory navi system, sweet!! Even like your mazda 6 too, my friend has a 2006 mazda 6 with a V6 I think a 3.0 engine with 5-speed, and bose system, he done some things to it so far. How does your bose system sound? Keep me posted for pics! Check out my ride and vote!!
