1999 Corvette FRC. Owned since 2000. Completely stock when I purchased it and then went to an auto show and saw a chromed engine; it was all over after that. Haven't stopped buying for my Corvette yet. In fact I just ordered chrome plenum from Zip. The interior is leather, teel and ostrich. Engine has LG G5 X3 cam, titanium push rods, dual springs, K&amp;N twin 360 filters, cold air induction, LS6 ZO6 intake, Stage 2 flywheel, pressure plate and clutch, Kooks long tube headers, flow through cats, X pipe, B&amp;B Bullet exhaust and more.

<p>Whats up, this is Bobby Marshall owner of Garage Trendz &amp; Vinyl Werx Graphics. I'm sending this email to some of my better distributors who have helped me knowingly or not over the last three and a half years build my Corvette. I appreciate all the help you all have provided as well as the great deals you've given me on parts and accessories. I'd like to share these pics with all of you so that you can see all the hard work my team has put into this vehicle. It's been a tough three and a half years but I feel the end result was well worth it.</p> <p>Thanks again,</p> <p>Bobby Marshall</p> <p>garagetrendz@yahoo.com</p> <p>www.garagetrendz.biz</p> <p>Mon-Fri 9:00 to 6:00 Sat. 9:00 to 12:00</p> <p>shop 304-295-5575   cell 304-834-0798</p>

Here is my 98 coupe, customized by American Custom Industries in Sylvania, Ohio. My car was on exhibit at the National Corvette Museum from July 1 - December 31, 2006 in the Skydome as part of their Custom Corvette display. The car is also the feature car for August in the American Sportscar Calendar.

My ‘Vette is a perfect 2000 convertible. Although I live in the good old USA, my Vette is a European (metric) model. She has a 300 MPH speedometer, oil pressure is in KPA, water temp in degrees C. The car features a 6 speed manual, heads up display, magnesium wheels closely matching the pewter paint – beautiful.

"Once you've got Corvette fever, it's incurable," says Florida’s "Corvette Rick" Hollander. Rick caught the fever when he bought a 1980 Corvette coupe brand new, using it for weekends and special occasions. His most recent "cure" is this Torch Red 2002 C5, a car that sees a lot more street duty than the previous 1980 model. "It's my daily driver," Rick explains, "because a vette is too great of a ride to be taken out only once or twice a week." Purchased in February 2002, the C5 remains completely stock, "Which is how I intend to keep it," Rick says.

Shane Baker from Washington, DC, has an obvious fetish about his 1999 Nassau Blue convertible, as indicated by his creative license plate "VETISH". Shane says he’s not happy with the photos he e-mailed to us of the tan topped, 6-speed C5, but explains he grabbed them quickly while on a road trip to Berkely Springs, West Virginia. “Not the most exciting town,” Shane says, “but great for a relaxing get-away with some beautiful scenery.

It is a very unique car with a large number of modifications. I have attached my website for a full list of all the modifications and its metamorphasis over time. I have also included a few photos. It is consistently chosen one of the top C5's on the Corvette Forum Website. It is a 2001 Torch Red Z06 with a custom Ken King interior, Caravaggio Rear Spoiler, Motor City Mold Hood, ACI front chin spoiler, HRE 541 wheels, Michelin Sport Tires, Eradispeed Brake Rotors, Borla Stinger Exhaust, Custom Painted Engine Bay and European Tail Lights. I am a burn and trauma surgeon and my vette is my escape from my often all too serious life. It allows me to have a hobby that I can enjoy anytime even if it is nothing more than washing and waxing the car. My brother and I both have Z06's. His is Millenium Yellow and modded also. We have a GREAT time traveling around the country showing our cars and meeting other Corvette enthusiast. My website Thanks for your consideration and time, Ron Robertson

Bill Miller’s Quicksilver 2001 Z06 is the fifth C5 he’s purchased over the last three years. In six weeks, Bill racked up about 900 miles on the Z06’s odometer, including about 100 or so on the road course at Road Atlanta while attending a Panoz Racing School course. "I love this car the most of all my previous C5s," Bill admits, "except I miss not being able to remove the tops as I could on my coupes." Bill also admits that he’s got an Electron Blue 2002 Z06 on order with the intention of painting it to match the look of the earlier Grand Sports.

Brian Marks is an admitted Corvette fanatic, so much so that he created his own Website for his 2000 C5 at www.yellowc5.com, where you can view more images of the car. "In fact," Mark explains, "ownership of the Corvette prompted me to start a popular Internet forum at www.c5forum.com as well as a Store with tons of high quality parts and accessories at www.c5store.com. Brian purchased the Millennium Yellow coupe brand-new and has since added a number of upgrades, which can be seen on the Modifications page at the car’s website. With 329 rear-wheel horsepower, the Brian’s C5 has run a best of 12.67/115 mph in the quarter-mile. Brian says, "People on the C5Forum know me as Redshift, which is what my license plate reads."

"Excuse me, ma'am, but what color is that car?" That's the question Donna Littlejohn hears all the time when on-lookers see her color-changing C5 for the first time. Her standard answer is, "Well, it depends on where you're standing!" Donna’s1998 coupe was changed from its original black to the wild color-changing Dupont Chromalusion "True Blasberry Prizm" in may of 2000. Since getting into the Corvette culture, going to car shows, and looking for ways to make her Corvette unique, Donna decided to change the color to something really different. Depending on the time of day and the way the light hits the car, it can change from bright blue to purple to raspberry. Other mods include chrome engine components, chrome wheels and painted calipers, chrome tail light and license covers, and a custom Aura Sound stereo system with Pioneer DVD, navigation system, and 12-disc CD changer. A Donaldson air intake, B&B Tri-Flow exhaust and X-pipe, and Baer Racing Eradispeed slotted and cross-drilled rotors round out Donna’s modest mods.

"I am just a regular Joe who did most of my own work," says Greg Garcia. "I see these other cars out there and some things just don't look right. My car puts down awesome power and has the looks to go with it!" Greg’s 2000 hardtop has the cosmetics of a Z06 but a lot more power with its tricked out NX nitrous kit with polished hardlines. The interior has red/black Wet Okole seat covers, a dual gauge pod, and white face gauges. Greg uses two sets of wheels — Grand Sports with 315 drag radials for the drag strip and chrome Z06s for the street. To date, Greg’s C5 has run a best of 12.11/120.2 on the street tires. On the dyno, the car has generated 421 horsepower and 394 lb. ft. of torque at the rear wheels — without the juice.

When Jeffrey Dressel parked his 1999 Corvette in a cornfield outside Southampton, NY, his friend Robert Flieger couldn’t resist the photo op. It’s a great picture of the Light Pewter Metallic convertible, which is equipped with a Donaldson LS6 intake, 172-degree thremostat, and a B&B Tri-Flo exhaust. Inside, Dressel, a dentist from Brooklyn Heights, NY, has added a billet aluminum shift knob for the 6-speed, Alpine stereo head unit and amp, and Boston Acoustics speakers.

The owner of this 2001 C5, who identified himself only as Diamond, is a personal trainer and motivational speaker for teenagers in Los Angeles. Well, nothing like getting teens motivated than to see Diamond drive up in his beautiful C5. Purchased "bone stock" on august 21, 2002, Diamond initiated his modifications the next day, eventually adding Z06 wheels, Bassani X-pipe with Flowmaster exhaust ("sounds great!" Diamond says), a 1-inch lowering, and "my own personal hand polishing job," which is why Diamond calls his C5 "Black Ice." Future plans call for a major infusion of horsepower with a Lingenfelter Magna supercharger.

I bought my first corvette in 1972. It was a convertible, Ontario Orange with black leather interior. 350/270hp. I loved that car but I had to sell it after twelve years due to the increasing family. I swore that one day I would buy another new corvette. Well here it is.. In March 2004 I purchased a 2004 Torch Red Coupe. I've made a few air intake (K&N) and exhaust modifications (CORSA Pace Car) and added the chrome wheels. I personally prefer the C3's and the C5's but I love all of the Corvette Generations. Have you ever seen an ugly Corvette? I don't think so!!! Austin Williams Maryland

Here are pics of my 1st Corvette and the only 1 I own right now. I'm modifying it it little by little. I've put a stage 1 computer module in and a K&N ram air intake as well as an almost totally unrestricted exhaust, Drilled and slotted rotors which are painted racing red like the calipers and hawk high performance brake pads. I'm also doing some interior mods as well. I've just completed the door grab handles and the passenger side grab bar in Torch Red and the steering wheel skin and shifting boot in 2 tone Torch Red and Black. Next month I plan on getting the center console cushion in red and black and also Lloyd floor mats in red and black. Down the line the Headers will come as well as new Torch Red and Black seats and some engine chrome. I love Corvettes and believe they are the best American sports car ever. I am proud to be an owner of America's Pie. Most of all Corvette Magazine should also have it's own TV show on Speed TV, of course there is no way to improve on excellence so keep up the good work. Sincerely Yours, Robert Bean

"This is my south Texas ranch vehicle," says Chase, the owner of this C5. "I enjoy my Corvette very much. I just returned from a wild hog hunt in south Texas and thought CorvetteMagazine.com readers would get a kick out of seeing what we do with our cars down here."

Harry Parker from Chandler, Arizona, purchased his 1999 Corvette about six months ago and already, he says, some “minor enhancements” are starting to get out of hand. Harry has already equipped the Pewter C5 with MT1 Stage 1 heads and cam, RM Racing Twin Flow intake, TPIS long-tube headers, Corsa Indy exhaust, B&M Ripper shifter, Bilstein shocks, Fikse FM5 wheels with BFG tires, and PIAA fog lights. “As soon as the Powerloader arrives, I’m planning a trip to the chassis dyno,” Harry says, adding that he’s looking for 385-400 rear-wheel horsepower. “Will the madness ever end?”

Rod Nottingham’s 2000 Corvette is one prince of a C5, thanks to the extras added by the Bloomington, Illinois Corvette owner. Most noticeable on the outside are the HRE wheels and the hood, side vents, and rear wing from RK Sport. Under the twin cowl-induction hood, Rod has added a complete carbon-fiber engine cover kit. The exhaust note comes from a Corsa 3.5 series cat-back system. Rod says he loves driving his C5, so much so that he’ll have it at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in February, “but only in the parking lot, darn it!”

Joe and Vicki Moncado from Olathe, KS, are on stand-by with their 1999 Torch Red coupe. Selected as the alternate for the National Corvette Museum Motorama, in which one car from each model year will journey from Flint, MI, the birthplace of the Corvette, to the GM Headquarters in Detroit, to St. Louis where the Corvette was produced for many years, and then on to Bowling Green, the Moncado C5 will make the historic journey if the primary car can’t make it. The Moncados are also looking forward to the 50th Anniversary National Corvette Caravan, where caravans from across the country will meet in Bowling Green to celebrate the 50th anniversary. As Captains for the Kansas and Missouri Caravan, Joe and Vicki are already working on the event. "We are very involved with the Corvette hobby and serve as Ambassadors to the National Corvette Museum representing the Kansas City Corvette Association. We are Lifetime Members of the National Corvette Museum," say the busy couple. "If the primary ‘99 for the Motorama can’t make it, we are prepared to step in and fulfill our obligation as the alternate."

I live in Fort Wayne Indiana.

Great products and a great magazine. In response to your invite to forward a picture, one should be attached, and here's a story: In the photo, our 2000 Torch Red Coupe has just garnered another 1st place in class trophy. This Vette, our eighth, in nearly 40 years of a love affair with Corvette was delivered to us at the National Corvette Museum on october 29, 1999. It's now five years old and simply perfect, mechanically and cosmetically. The credit goes to Dave Hill, Will Cooksely and all of the great workers in Bowling Green who take such pride in building America's Sports Car and who make it with such quality. The only enhancements that we've added are a Borla exhaust and a Blackwing intake. Mike Chiteman Erie, PA
