I don't know if its worthy of being here, but it is what it is and I like it.

It's a 95 base coupe 6 speed. It has the base suspension, J55 13" brakes, and power drivers seat. It is just about as base as you can get in a Corvette. I've been making upgrades over the last year to get it more performance oriented. So far I have added Hawk HPS pads to the factory 13" brakes, 32mm front sway bar, 26 mm rear sway bar, DA Viking shocks, GW Delalum upper and lower control arm bushings, and 17x11 ZR1 A-mod knock off with Nitto 315/35/17 NT01 tires at all 4 corners. I'm waiting on my Vette Brakes & Products HD rear strut, trailing, and toe rod set to get here, so I can install that. I'm still debating spring choice, but the soft FE1 springs with the big sway bars is working quiet well and rides pretty good on the open road.

This winter I will adding more ponies, but 300 hp in a 3k car is pretty fun in the twisties. Thanks for looking and please let me know if you have any advice or comments.

I know threads are worthless without pics, so I have a few when I got it. I'll add more soon, I have to get them off the camera.

These are when it was still stock, but still fun.

Here where my screen name came from. I took this pic and my 9 year old niece said " Look, Mustard and Ketchup Corvettes!" LOL.

What is the ZR1 knock off that you are talking about? I picked up a c4 this fall and would love to fit larger tires under it without it looking goofy

You can get them for around 700.00 or less shipped. You just have to shop around.
